What is accretion?

Answer 1

Accretion:

1. The growth in plants by the addition or adhesion of parts or particles is known as accretion.
2. During accretion, materials deposit over the surface of an existing structure.
3. Dead organisms do not grow, but some non-living entities can increase in sizes such as rocks, mountains, stones, and crystals.
4. This is due to the addition of a similar material to the outer surface known as accretion.
5. An accretion is a growth in size or extent that results from natural growth or gradual external addition.
