Inspired by a recent cross-disciplinary meeting, here's an attempt to explain a geology word using the most common 1000 words checked by text editor inspired by xkcd:

Peridotite
A rock which comes from a deep place of our world and looks green because it is formed of pieces that are also green. This rock is heavy and makes up a large part of the deep rock world.

For hundreds of years, people have been burning stuff, making power that helps us move around, make things, build cities, stay warm or cool. But all that burning has added things to the air that hold in the sun's power, making the world hotter. That change is making it harder to grow food, have enough water and keep all people and other life safe. To continue to live well, we must find ways to get and use power without burning things. There's work for everyone to do to get this done!
