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.

What else can I help you with?
These form when two continental plates push together?
convergent boundary
When two plates collide what can happen?
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.
What will happen if two plates crashed into each other?
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
What are two things that can happen at the edges of tectonic plates?
They could meet and cause an earthquake.
What would happen if two large plates made of granite rubbed against one another sliding past each other?
If two large granite plates slide past each other, they could create a fault line where earthquakes may occur due to the stress and friction generated. Over time, the friction may cause wear and deformation, altering the shape and structure of the plates.
What happens on plate collision boundaries?
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
When two tectonic plates push into each other the place the two plates meet is what?
They are called a Plate Boundaries :)
What boundary is the place where two plates push intoeachother?
A convergent boundary.

The place where two tectonic plates push into another?
convergent boundary

Do earthquakes only happen where plates converge?
no, earthquakes mainly happen when two plates crash each other or one plates goes under the other.
What happen when two plates move towards?
compression
What will happen if two plates crashed into each other?

Which landform is likely to form where two oceanic plates push together?
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.
What is the place where two tectonic plates push into one another?
Plate Boundary Location
What forces make two plates jerk into position new?
the earths gravitiy causes it to push down
