Term for changing of solid to liquid?

Gas -> liquid = condinsation Liquid -> solid = solidification Solid -> liquid = fusion Liquid -> gas = evaporation Solid directly to gas (with out becoming liquid) = sublimation Example = dry ice at room temperature.


How are intrusive and extrusive ignious rock different?

Intrusive rick forms when the cooling and solidification of magma and extrusive is when the cooling and solidification of lava.


Can you go straight from a solid to a gas?

State change from solid directly to gas is called sublimation, for example, dry ice - CO2(s) sublimates into gas CO2(g).


Is condensation of water vapor the same as solidification?

No, condensing is the turning of water gas (vapor of steam) into a liquid while solidification is changing the liquid phase into a solid phase (ice). I believe if I can remember my Thermdynamics that all fluids can also directly from gas into a solid at high pressures. I believe that is called sublimation.
