That depends! Continental-Continental convergent boundaries result in the formation of fold mountains. Crust here is neither created or destroyed.

Continental-Oceanic and Oceanic-Oceanic collision bounsdaries generally lead to the formation of a subduction zone, where the denser plate (usually the older and therefore cooler oceanic plate) sinks back into the mantle and melts so is destroyed (or more accurately recycled).
