Yes, very common. The ice sheets and glaciers diminish by the process of sublimation. The direct passing from solid to vapour without an intervening water phase.

sublimation
Sublimation occurs naturally on Earth. Snow and ice can sublimate slowly in hot sun.
Because salt doesn't sublime !
Direct conversion into a gas (see dry ice for a common example).
Sublimation is where a substance goes from solid to gas without passing through a liquid phase. Two common products that sublimate are dry ice and naphthalene mothballs.
Common salt, or sodium chloride, cannot be purified by sublimation because it has a high melting point (801°C) and does not sublime at normal temperatures and pressures. Sublimation is the process of a substance transitioning directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase, which is not applicable to sodium chloride.
This process is called sublimation. Some common substances that exhibit sublimation are dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) and camphor.
I think the answer is sublimation
The process is called sublimation. Solids can turn directly into gases, and gases can turn directly into solid without ever being a liquid. Carbon dioxide (dry ice) is a common example of this. Other examples are mothballs, solid air fresheners (Air Wick), and iodine.
It is called sublimation.
Sublimation is a physical change.
