The whaleback upward-facing folds of Domain 2 are consistent with a dominantly subhorizontal NW-SE contractional strain. |

The earthquake was generated by contractional deformation along the Léogâne fault, a small hidden thrust fault discovered underneath the city of Léogâne. |

In a similar way the substrate has a surface 'free' energy level, the 'attractional force', which tries to overcome the contractional force of the liquid. |
