A convergent boundary is a reverse fault. It's a reverse fault because it it pushing together, while a divergent boundary is a normal fault because 2 plates are pushing away from each other.
You can find it on a convergent boundary
A convergent boundary is a type of fault where two tectonic plates collide, causing compression forces that lead to the plates being pushed together. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and powerful earthquakes.
A reverse fault
A reverse fault is typically formed at a convergent plate boundary where two tectonic plates are colliding. The movement along the fault results in one block of rock moving up and over the other block.

A Transform Fault ZoneIn the textbook Earth Science and the Environment (4th Edition) by Thompson and Turk. Located on page 163, it shows that Tonga has a Convergent Boundary. A convergent boundary is where two lithospheic plates collide head on.
A reverse fault generally occurs at a convergent boundary where two tectonic plates collide and one is forced over the other, causing compression and uplift of the Earth's crust.
Along a convergent plate boundary, you typically find a reverse fault or thrust fault. This type of fault occurs when the two tectonic plates are pushing against each other, causing one plate to be forced up and over the other plate. This movement can lead to earthquakes and mountain building.
A convergent boundary causes compressional stress.
