The Caribbean Plate is bounded by active strike-slip and subduction zones, producing damaging earthquakes in Haiti, Puerto Rico and the eastern Caribbean. The map above plots tectonic-plate boundaries alongside live earthquakes - zoom and pan to see how seismic activity traces the edges of the Caribbean Plate. For instant alerts when a quake strikes near you, the free QuakeMate app sends real-time push notifications.
