When two continental plates collide, the crust is forced to thicken, creating mountain ranges such as the Himalayas.
When a continental plate and an oceanic plate collide, the oceanic plate will subduct beneath the continental plate as it is denser. This will form a subduction zone. In this process, orogenic belts (mountain ranges) are formed near or along the coastline. They can also create deep ocean trenches offshore, and sometimes forming volcanoes as molten material created from the subduction of cold wet crust rises to the surface. An example would be the volcanoes at the Pacific Ring of Fire.
When two oceanic plates collide, the denser oceanic plate will subduct beneath the lighter one, forming a subduction zone as well. They can also form (volcanic) island arcs such as the Solomon islands.
When two tectonic plates collide, it can form various geological features such as mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. The specific features that form depend on the types of plates involved and the specific boundaries at the collision zone.
A convergent plate movement occurs when two tectonic plates collide with each other. This typically happens at subduction zones, where one plate is forced beneath the other due to differences in density. This can create mountains, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.
When two oceanic plates collide, one may be pushed under the other and cause magma from the mantle to rise, forming a volcanoe or volcanoes. When two continential plates collide at a reverse fault tectonic earthquakes occur.

It is because volcanoes form by two tectonic plates which when both collide and they form volcanoes which a magma rock forms when it explodes.
When two tectonic plates collide, it can form various geological features such as mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanic activity. The specific features that form depend on the types of plates involved and the specific boundaries at the collision zone.
When two tectonic plates collide, compressional stress occurs. This stress causes the rocks to fold and deform, leading to the formation of mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas. The intense pressure and friction between the plates can also result in earthquakes and volcanic activity.

They are called rift volcanoes.
A subduction zone is a convergent boundary where two tectonic plates collide.
The movement or action of the plate determines what type it is. When two plates collide, they are creating a convergent boundary. Therefore you could state that they are convergent (or colliding) tectonic plates.
Overlapping portions of two continents are known as continental plates or tectonic plates. These plates can collide, separate, or slide past each other due to the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates.
convergence
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of the tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are always in motion, and when two of them collide with one another it causes earthquakes.
It is because volcanoes form by two tectonic plates which when both collide and they form volcanoes which a magma rock forms when it explodes.
