Previous studies had hypothesized that minor components could either help or hinder the crystallization process, by creating or blocking sites for crystal growth.

之前已有研究猜测，微量组分可以产生或堵塞晶体生长的位点，从而促进或阻碍结晶过程。

There's tons like protein crystal growth, which is trying to look at it because you can grow crystals in space better than you can on Earth because without gravity they form perfectly in space.

因此，质晶体生长这样的研究非常丰富，人们试图研究它， 因为在培育晶体比在地球上更优越， 因为没有重力， 晶体在够完美形成。

The weathered niches were partially formed by salt crystal growth.

风化的生态位部分 是由盐晶体生长形成的。

There's a variety of fossilization processes and the most common is permineralization, where crystals grow into the pore spaces within the hard parts of an animal.

化石化过程有很多种，最常见的是全矿化，即晶体生长到动物坚硬部位的孔隙。

Many crystals don’t form geometric shapes because they grow in extremely close quarters with other crystals.

许多晶体不会形成几何形状，因为它们与其他晶体生长在非常接近的区域。

And in replacement, water dissolves the original minerals making up the remains and then crystals grow into the spaces.

作为替代，水溶解了构成残骸的原始矿物质，然后晶体生长到间。
