What land form is created by tectonic plates crashing together?

this depends on the two plates that collide. Ocean plates are much heavier than continental plates. If an ocean and continental plate collide, the ocean plate sinks underneath and creates a trench. If two ocean plates or two continental plate collide, it creates a mountain range/ oceanic ridge depending on the type.

Are waves created by tectonic plates?
Yes, and, no. Yes, waves are created by tectonic plates during an earthquake (When two or more tectonic plates rub together and make huge vibrations) and even cause tsunami waves. Waves are not formed when the plates are still, though.
Where do plates come together?
The place where tectonic plates come together is named an Destructive Boundary
What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?

What are the differences between plate tectonic and tectonic plates?
Converging plates come together. They converge together. Diverging plates come apart.
What word has the definition tectonic plates push together?
