What tectonic plate movement caused the Sichuan Earthquake 2008?
I need to know exactly what boundary; convergent, divergent or transform caused the Sichuan Earthquake last year. Diagrams will be appreciated. Thanks

convergent.

when i first looked, it seemed well away from the Himalayas.
but when i saw the line of aftershocks, it made me quite suspicious.
reading, i see it is part of the collision boundary.
