What stress occurs when two tectonic plates collide?

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.


What occurs when two plates collide and one of the plates dips below the other?

It is called subduction. When subduction occurs one plate slips beneath the other and sinks into the Earth's mantle and creates a trench.
