Both continental and oceanic plates float on the top surface of the mantle, which is divided into convection cells. The movement of these convection cells drag the plates along: where convection causes the mantle material to fall the plates are pushed together and where convection causes the mantle material to rise the plates are pulled apart.

Slab-pull and ridge-push acting together
Mountain ranges formed by the pushing together of tectonic plates are called fold mountains. Examples include the Himalayas and the Alps, where the collision of plates has caused the Earth's crust to fold and create towering mountain peaks.
The movement of the Earth's tectonic plates is primarily caused by convection currents in the mantle, where hotter, less dense material rises while cooler, denser material sinks. This process creates forces that push and pull the plates in various directions. Additionally, slab pull and ridge push contribute to the movement, where descending oceanic plates pull on the rest of the plate and mid-ocean ridges push plates apart. Together, these mechanisms drive the dynamic activity of plate tectonics.
They are a result of tetonic activity. they occur when two plates push together under a great pressure and then begin to fold upwards. when there is a weakness in the plates the mantles pressure builds and magma comes to the surface.
When tectonic plates push together, they converge, forming a convergent boundary.
when plates push together, it forms new land.

yes it does
The plates push and pull and grind against each other they push together the force goes up and they form large mountains!
A deep ocean trench is likely to form where two oceanic plates push together in a convergent boundary. This is because one of the plates subducts beneath the other, creating a deep trench.
