The 2004 Indian ocean tsunami was the result of a megathrust earthquake. Such an earthquake occurs at a subduction zone, where one tectonic plate collide with and slides under another. The earthquake occurred when the Indian plate slipped eastward and a bit further under the Burma plate. As a result, part of the seafloor on the Burma plate was thrust upward, displacing the enormous volume of water above it.
