(I'm not a scientist, but here's what I know)
Well, with mountains: when the plates push against each other, the land forms together, making the structure known as mountains.
With earthquakes: when the plates rub against each other: the friction causes the ground to shake
With ocean trenches: the ocean plates spread apart, they make deep trenches in the ocean
