Here's why:
* Freezing: This term specifically refers to the phase change where a liquid cools down to its freezing point and becomes a solid. Think of water turning into ice.
* Solidification: This term is more general and encompasses any process where a substance transitions from a liquid to a solid state, regardless of the method (cooling, pressure change, etc.).
Both terms describe the same physical process where the molecules in the liquid become more ordered and tightly packed, forming a rigid structure characteristic of a solid.
