Is the Indian ocean tsunami convergent or divergent or transform?

The Indian Ocean tsunami was caused by a convergent boundary, specifically where the Indo-Australian Plate subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. The sudden displacement of water from the seafloor due to the tectonic movement resulted in a massive tsunami that devastated coastal regions.

What is the evidence of convergent plate boundary?

A convergent plate boundary is a plate boundary that comes together to potentially collide with each other. A small bit of evidence of this is that India crashed into Asia (they were both convergent plate boundary's) and India is still pushing through Asia when the collision was about 2.5 million years ago.
