The earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010 occurred along the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone. This fault system runs through the southern part of the country and was responsible for the devastating earthquake.
The fault line in Haiti is called the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone. It is responsible for significant seismic activity in the region, including the devastating earthquake in 2010.

Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault i believe
The name given to the point on a fault where the first movement or break occurs during an earthquake is called the hypocenter or focus. This is the point within the Earth's crust where the seismic waves originate and energy is released, causing an earthquake.
The San Francisco 1906 earthquake occurred along the San Andreas Fault.
a new fault line that was undetected had no name
The fault line in Haiti is called the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone. It is responsible for significant seismic activity in the region, including the devastating earthquake in 2010.
The fault that caused the 1995 Kobe earthquake was the Nojima fault.
It's the 125th Street Fault. Not very creative, but hey.
The largest earthquake fault is San Andreas fault.
The epicenter is another name for the focus of an earthquake. It is the point on the Earth's surface directly above where the earthquake originates, which is typically underground along a fault line.
Earthquakes do not receive names like hurricanes or tropical storms. It would simply be called the Haiti Earthquake of 2010.
