When two plates collide, the term is called subduction. On plate would be pushed down under while the dominant plate will remain in its course. When this happens, earthquakes occur and you have the formation of new mountains (or increasing mountain heights in already established mountains). Also, where you have mountain ranges forming, you will also have ocean trenches growing beneath it.
Examples of two plates colliding right now are the Pacific Plate & North American Plate, the Nazca Plate & South American Plate. Search them up in Google images or on YouTube for more details.

convergent boundary
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.
If two plates crashed into each other two possible things can happen: 1 The plates bump into each other and can cause an earthquake. 2 The plates crash, then they go upwards to form a mountain or a volcano. ~Doraexplorer
When two continental plates push together, they can create mountain ranges through a process known as orogeny. The immense pressure from the collision causes the crust to buckle and fold, leading to the formation of high peaks and complex geological structures. A prime example of this is the Himalayas, which formed from the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates.
They could meet and cause an earthquake.
the two equal plates push together and then they eventually pust up, to make mountains.(they have to be the same types of plates for this to happen!!) e.g. the himalayers
They are called a Plate Boundaries :)

no, earthquakes mainly happen when two plates crash each other or one plates goes under the other.

compression
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.
