The surface feature formed when two plates meet is known as a fault. In some cases mountains can also be formed when two plates collide.

Faults, graben and mid oceanic ridges.
a trench is formed when 2 oceanic plates collide
When it is two continental plates, new oceanic crust is formed, and when this continues, more oceanic crust is formed between the plates.
Ridges of buoyant oceanic crust form at diverging oceanic plate boundaries.

Mountains and grass
The categories are a continental and a continental plate colliding, continental and oceanic plates colliding, and oceanic and oceanic plates colliding. The two continental plates form mountains. The continental and oceanic plated colliding cause subduction zones and volcanoes. Oceanic and oceanic plates colliding form a trench.
