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.
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.
They lodge together pressure builds up and overcomes the friction the plates jolt past each other and make earthquakes this also creates ridges in the land eg san andreas fault
When tectonic plates push together, they converge, forming a convergent boundary.
when plates push together, it forms new land.

Volcanoes or sometimes earthquake!
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.
