Definition: Accretion is an accumulation of material that is released from a surface or solid body due to friction or other physical forces. The term "accretive" describes substances, materials, or objects that have been absorbed or taken in by another substance, object, or force. For example: 1) A block of ice on the ground may be considered accretive because it has been absorbed by the earth, and is therefore a part of its natural environment. 2) An electric cable connecting two different metals has been accreted due to friction between the two materials.
