When two crustal plates are in the process of collision they deform, the results of which vary:
- continental-continental, large mountain building (e.g. asia-India building the himalayas)
- oceanic-oceanic, island arc building with volcanic islands (e.g. the Japanese islands)
- oceanic-continental, subduction of oceanic plate under continental plate with inland volcanoes (e.g. volcanoes in Washington, Oregon, and northern California)

What happens if two plates collide at a destructive plate boundary?

It makes a mountain.
What happen when worlds collide?
"Worlds collide" is a common phrase used to describe what happens when two people who know the same person from different places meet each other.
What happens when two plates carrying oceanic collide?
When two oceanic crusts collide, the older plate is forced under the younger one and is pulled under it, forming a subduction zone. This leads to the formation of chains of volcanic islands known as island arcs.
