If the two plates are continental crust then a mountain belt will form (eg the Himalayas), If one plate is continental crust and the other is oceanic crust then you will get a mountain chain on land and an oceanic trench in the adjacent ocean (eg the Andes).

How have crustal plates moved over time?
Molten magma from the mantle rises at the top oceanic ridge, cools and solidifies, continually forming a crustal plate. Hundreds to thousands of miles from the ridge the plate moves downward into the mantle at the contact with another plate and melts. The continuous process resembling a large "conveyor belt" moves the crustal plate a few centimeters each year.
