When two plates collide with enough force, faulting occurs, breaking the crust. Faulting (Apex)
they hug each other
continental plates meeting form fault lines
It is called subduction. When subduction occurs one plate slips beneath the other and sinks into the Earth's mantle and creates a trench.
Subduction is a process that occurs when two oceanic plates pull apart

Where two plates collide
a fold mountain occurs
they hug each other
when two oceanic plates collide they create a deep-ocean trench, at deep-ocean trenches subduction occurs.
continental plates meeting form fault lines
They are called rift volcanoes.
Earthquakes are caused when this happens.
When two tectonic plates collide, it is called compressional stress at convergent boundaries. Rocks and plates usually have stronger compressional strength than tensional strength (which would happen at divergent boundaries). This means the higher the likelihood of developing mountains for continent-continent convergence or being subducted for oceanic-oceanic/oceanic-continental boundaries.
