When two Continental plates come together, they both collide.This forms mountains.
The collision of the Indian and Eurasian Plates, creating the Himalayan Mountain Range.
Convergent boundary, which in this case would lead to mountain building (as in the Himalayas)
Collision between two plates produces a convergent plate boundary.

It's what happens when two tectonic plates come together and push against each other. Like what happens when you take two pieces of paper, push them together, and see them come up like mountains
Convergent plates are two tectonic plates that are colliding as they move toward each other. There are several types of converging plate boundaries.Oceanic to oceanic plate convergence:Where an oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate, the more dense plate subducts into the mantle. The subduction results in the partial melting of lithospheric rock above the area of the subduction, causing underwater volcanoes to form. If the volcanoes grow to reach the surface, volcanic arc islands are formed.Oceanic to continental plate convergence:Where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the oceanic plate is subducted due to the fact that it is more dense, which can also cause volcanism and mountain building.Continental to continental plate convergence:Where two continental plates collide, neither subducts into the mantle, the crust is thickened, and mountain ranges are formed from the thickening and uplift.
Places where plates crash or crunch together are called convergent boundaries.
When two tectonic plates are diverging, that means that they are coming apart. Depending whether or not they are oceanic plates or continental plates, the outcome will be different. If two oceanic plates diverge, a rift valley will occur in the ocean; if the same is with continental plates an rift vally will occur on the continent.
It is called a "convergent boundary".

When continental plates collide they form high mountains.
Mountain ranges are created at convergent plate boundaries. That is where two plates, either ocean and continental or continental and continental come together.

They fold up when there continental, creating mountains and steep hills. The Rocky's are a great example. Oceanic plate collisions cause tsunamis, and Oceanic plates are subducted under Continental plates, they are overlapped by the continental plate.
The place where tectonic plates come together is named an Destructive Boundary
Converging plates come together. They converge together. Diverging plates come apart.
Converging plates come together. They converge together. Diverging plates come apart.
When two plates collide, or come together, the plates will push upward, forming a mountain. If one plate is continental crust and the other is oceanic crust, the less dense crust (this being the oceanic) will actually move under the more dense crust, in a process called subduction, to form a deep-ocean trench.
Either both sides of the plates are thrust upwards to form mountains. Or one side is thrust downwards beneath the other, known as subduction.
When two plates come together it's known as the Convergent Boundry
