Here is how you could fill in the table with observations for the different types of tectonic egg movements:

Table 1: Tectonic Egg Movement

Movement: egg shell pieces pushed towards one another

observations: The pieces fold and buckle, stacking on top of each other

Movement: egg shell pieces pushed towards one another

observations: The pieces fracture and break as they are forced together

Movement: egg shells pushed passed one another

observations: The pieces slide past each other smoothly with little deformation

The different types of egg movements can model the different types of tectonic plate movement:

When the egg shell pieces are pushed towards one another, it models convergent plate boundaries where plates collide. This can result in folding, fracturing and mountain building.

When the egg shells are pushed past one another, it models transform plate boundaries where plates slide past each other laterally. This usually results in little deformation along smooth fault lines.
