The surface feature formed when two plates meet is known as a fault. In some cases mountains can also be formed when two plates collide.
PLATE TECTONICS is the study of the movement of the earths continental plates

Moving plates in the earths mantle.
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
