wrong question. nothing like what you just asked. where plates meet are called boundaries

What is it called when two plates collide?
Convergent boundary
Where is the place where two plates collide and one goes on top of the other?
The collisions of plates occur at "convergent boundaries". Convergent boundaries include "subduction zones" (where one goes under the other) and "continental collisions". Please see the related link for more information on the topic.
What boundary is it called when an oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate?
It's called destructive plate margin/boundary, or convergent plate margin though this term applies to all plate margins where two plates are moving towards each other (such as continental + continental or oceanic + oceanic).
When two plates collide or crash into each other it is called a what boundary?
convergent boundary
What boundary is it where two plates push together?
An area where two tectonic plates collide is called a boundary. There are three kinds of boundaries. They are convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries.
What type of boundary is formed when plates collide?

When huge sections of the Earth collide what do they produce?
The huge sections are called tectonic plates. When they collide this is called a convergent boundary. Usually one plate is oceanic and one is continental, and the oceanic plate is forced down in a subduction zone. This forces the continental plate up, giving rise to mountains and often volcanoes.
What is it called when continental plates collide?
Collision...
When continental crust and oceanic crust collide what occurs?
This is referred to as a convergent plate boundary (oceanic-continental). The denser oceanic plate is forced underneath the lighter continental plate by a process called subduction.
What boundary is it called when an oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate?
It's called destructive plate margin/boundary, or convergent plate margin though this term applies to all plate margins where two plates are moving towards each other (such as continental + continental or oceanic + oceanic).
What is a continental rift also called?
continental plate? divergent boundary? convergent boundary? continental drift?
When two plates collide or crash into each other it is called a what boundary?
convergent boundary
What is it called when one plate is pushed another plate as they collide?
subduction boundary!!!
What is it called when two tectonic plates colide?
It's referred to as a Convergent Boundary If 2 Continental Plates --> Mountains If 2 Oceanic Plates --> Subduction of Heavier (older) Plate If Continental-Oceanic --> Oceanic Plate slides under the Continental Plate (Subduction of Oceanic)
A continental rift is also called?
either a continental plate divergent boundary convergent boundary or a continental drift lol
