The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic.

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.
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
The three types of plate tectonic boundaries are divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
The boundary is the name of theplace where two tectonic plates meet.
Tectonic plates are plates underneath the ground we stand on that help to form the structure of the earth, when two tectonic plates colide they create terrains such as mountains. they have also been known to cause some Tsunami's.

Some tectonic plates are the Eurasian Plate and the Pacific Plate.

Tectonic plates.
two tectonic plates meet usually at mid ocean ridges (eg Iceland) and at destructive plate boundaries (eg Japan).
The type of tectonic forces that create mountains are called converging plates. As two continental plates push together, the stress forces them both upwards. Because of this the Himalayas are still growing.
Bali is located on two tectonic plates, the Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. These plates interact along the Sunda Megathrust, which can result in seismic activity in the region.
There are two main types of tectonic plates: oceanic plates, which are denser and thinner, and continental plates, which are less dense and thicker. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle and interact with each other at plate boundaries.
