GEO HAITI • 2010 142 component). This fault, in an E-W direction, extended for 300 km from the Enriquillo Lake in the Dominican Republic, to the western extremity of the Tiburon Peninsula, passing less than 20 km from the south of Port-au-Prince. The earthquake affected a 70 km long segment along the fault and the seismic slip was probably between one and two metres. This fault had not produced any major earthquakes over the last ten years but is likely the source of the historic quakes 61 of 1751 and 1770 (Table 31). The IPGP specialists emphasize that the Enriquillo- Fault ruptured along a segment measuring less than one third of its total length, and the other segments of the fault, situated to the east and west of the rupture are also likely to break in the decades to come, producing earthquakes equal to, or slightly above, a magnitude of 7 62 .
