They are malleable and lustrous, and can conduct both electricity and thermal heat
A Framework for K–12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas (Framework) recommends science education in grades K–12 be built around three major dimensions: science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science and engineering through their common application across fields, and core ideas in the major disciplines of natural science.
Where they slide over each other.
Transform boundaries are formed or occur when two plates slide past each other in a sideways motion. They do not tear or crunch into each other (but the rock in between them may be ground up) and therefore none of the spectacular features are seen such as occur in divergent and convergent boundaries.
In a transform boundary, neither plate is added to at the boundary nor destroyed. They are marked in some places by features like stream beds that have been split in half and the two halves moved in opposite directions.
