Several things can happen at plate boundaries,
Plate boundaries are zones where you would expect to get earthquakes because of the movement.
Plates can push up to each other, forming mountains
One plate can slide under the other forming rift valleys
Plates can slide by each other
To find more information yahoo "plate tectonics"

normally in plate boundaries, extreme heat and pressure are generated on that area resulting from friction when two plates collides. this is the area where volcanic activities occurs

The spaghetti falls on the table cloth. Sort of like a subduction zone where one plate drops under the other. Or maybe it is more like doing the dishes in the sink.

Accumulation of heat and tension due to in the clasic view friction and in a more modern view raise in pressure of water trap in the middle of the two plates

cataclysmic, all the heat and pressure would pop the earth like a balloon in a matter of years.
