Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Petrifying

👉 "Petrifying" is a geological process that occurs when hot, dense rock solidifies and becomes nearly insulative. This can occur under extreme heat and pressure conditions like those experienced in the Earth's core or mantle, where the temperature and pressure are high enough to cause the rock to condense into ice. The term "petrification" has been used historically to describe this process of solidifying a rock mass by its own weight. It is named after the German geologist Friedrich Petrus
