Blog Week 5: Volcanoes in Haiti
Haiti is not known for any recent volcanic activity. Haiti has two known volcanoes: Morne la Vigie and Thomazeu. But, they are considered to be, "Pleistocene Volcanoes," aka extinct. Both previous volcanoes are described to be north of the capital Port-au-Prince. The two volcanoes are described to have been active around 1.5 million years ago. Haiti's most prominent natural disasters are earthquakes and hurricanes due to the country's location near to the equator as well as being set between two complex fault systems.
