Did Jamaica sit on a fault line?

Jamaica is located in a very seismically active region due to its proximity to the North American and Caribbean tectonic plates. The island is situated on the boundary of the North American and Caribbean plates, which makes it susceptible to earthquakes. The relative motion between these plates, known as the North America-Caribbean Transform Boundary, is about 20 millimetres per year, with the Caribbean Plate moving eastward relative to the North American Plate. This tectonic setting exposes Jamaica to strike-slip earthquakes, which can cause significant ground shaking and damage to infrastructure. Notable past earthquakes include the 1692 Port Royal earthquake, which caused widespread destruction and claimed numerous lives, and the 1907 Kingston earthquake, which resulted in significant damage to the city.
