There are four things that can happen when the edges of plates meet: # slip- two plates slide past each other. # spreading- two plates move apart from each other. # collision- two plates crash and fold up. # subduction- one plate sinks below the other.
That depends on what type of tectonic plates they are! If one is a continental plate and the other is oceanic then the denser and heavier oceanic plate will be pushed down under the lighter continental plate. There will also be some buckling of the oceanic and continental crust which creates fold mountains. Where the oceanic plate sinks into the mantle it may start to melt and this material will rise up through the overlying continental crust and eventually erupt on the surface forming volcanoes. This is occurring along the north western edge of the US and is responsible for the formation of the Cascade range volcanoes such as Mt St Helens.
In some places the down going plate can become jammed against the overlying plate. This causes pressure to build up until the plate slips again and causes a sudden slip. The energy released when this occurs is an earthquake.
If two continental plates collide they are both too buoyant (they want to float) for one to be forced under the other and so they both buckle and form large mountain chains and can also cause large earthquakes. The best example of this sort of plate collision is that between the Indian and Eurasian plates which has created the Himalayas.
Earthquakes could happen if 2 plates bump into each other. This is because there is a lot of energy in this reaction.
Plate tectonics is responsible for many things including the formation of volcanoes and islands. When two plates bump into each other an earthquake can occur.
an earthquake could start and it could cause a destruction.

Two plates collide (bump together) at a convergent boundary.
The asthenosphere is the thin sheet of plasticlike material that the plates "float" upon as they bump and slide into each other.
Convergent Boundary
They move all the time due to convection streams. When they bump to each other a lot of tension occours. And when finally on or the other plate gives in the slide goes over or under the other plate. Did that answer to your guestion?
Landforms are are made from elevation, slope, orientation, satrification, rock exposure, and soil type. Sometimes earthquakes can change the landscape. Under the earth, which cause earthquakes to happen, there are large 'plates' that move under the earth's crust. When they bump into each other, it causes earthquakes. Sometimes these plates push up against each other and form hills and mountains. Sometimes they push downwards, forming valleys and dips.
Continental drift is what happens when the Earth's plates shift either towards or away from the other plates. Earthquakes occur when two of the plates bump into each other. It happens when the magma from within the Earth rises up and pushes the plates, due high pressure they pose. That's the best I can do.
tectonic
these boundaries are formed when two plates collide. When the two plate bump one plate is absorbed in the mantle of the other. Heat and pressure when these plates collide causes volcanoes and earthquakes.

These plates move around slowly and bump into each other creating mountains, new seafloor, and earthquakes.
If two plates crashed into each other two possible things can happen: 1 The plates bump into each other and can cause an earthquake. 2 The plates crash, then they go upwards to form a mountain or a volcano. ~Doraexplorer
an earth quake
not necessarily, they strike on the fault lines of tectonic plates, when the plates bump into each other, they create volcanoes or earthquakes

i have a bump on my thumb do u reackon it is broken
