This is called a convergent boundary. A divergent boundary is when plate move away from each other, and a transform boundary is when plates slide past each other.

What are plates moving toward each other?
Plates that move toasted each other are detractive plates meeting at a destructive margin. If a continental and an oceanic plate move towards each other, earthquakes and volcanoes occur, this is called a subduction margin, but if the plates are both continental then fold mountains form this is a collision margin
