Orthorhombic crystal system
In crystallography, the orthorhombic crystal system is one of the 7 lattice point groups. Orthorhombic lattices result from stretching a cubic lattice along two of its lattice vectors by two different factors, resulting in a rectangular prism with a rectangular base (a by b, which is different from a) and height (c, which is different from a and b). All three bases intersect at 90° angles. The three lattice vectors remain mutually orthogonal.
