When two crustal plates are in the process of collision they deform, the results of which vary:

  1. continental-continental, large mountain building (e.g. asia-India building the himalayas)
  2. oceanic-oceanic, island arc building with volcanic islands (e.g. the Japanese islands)
  3. oceanic-continental, subduction of oceanic plate under continental plate with inland volcanoes (e.g. volcanoes in Washington, Oregon, and northern California)

What happens when two carrying oceanic crust collide?

When two oceanic crusts collide, the older plate is forced under the younger one and is pulled under it, forming a subduction zone. This leads to the formation of chains of volcanic islands known as island arcs.
