... and the subducting NAM plate was divided into three segments based on the variation of fault geometry and deformation style: (1) the North Hispaniola segment, (2) the PR trench, and (3) the LA subduction zone. We also consider the plate boundary between the CAR plate and PRVI microplate, the Muertos trough...

... triggering of the Enriquillo fault sytem near Port‐au‐Prince by slip on the distant subductionzone Los Muertos Trough is less plausible. Our intensity assignments permit both offshore and onshore locations for the 18 October 1751 event. The weight of the evidence, however, favors an onshore location...
