The
Enriquillo–Plantain Garden fault zone (EPGFZ or EPGZ) is a system of coaxial left lateral-moving
strike slip faults which runs along the southern side of the island of
Hispaniola, where
Haiti and the
Dominican Republic are located. The EPGFZ is named for
Lake Enriquillo in the Dominican Republic where the fault zone emerges, and extends across the southern portion of Hispaniola through the Caribbean to the region of the
Plantain Garden River in Jamaica.
