Sublimation is most often used to describe the process of snow and ice changing into water vapor in the air without first melting into water. The opposite of sublimation is "deposition", where water vapor changes directly into ice-such a snowflakes and frost.
Evaporation is the process of becoming a vapor and condensation is the process by which a gas or vapor changes to a liquid.
condensation
sublimation
Water because It is first solid its ice then when it melts it is liquid and when it is a gas its water vapor.
deposition
Deposition
Water vapor that changes in to an ice crystal is called deposition. This what happens in the formation of snow.
deposition
sublimation
Condensation, which changes vapor to liquid water, and freezing, which changes liquid water to solid ice.
The process in which solid directly changes into gas is called sublimation. Solid carbon dioxide is a substance that changes directly into gas without melting. Sublimation happens because these substances have higher vapor pressure than melting point.
When a solid changes directly into a vapor without passing through the liquid state is a physical change called sublimation.
snow or hail
Condensation is the form in which water vapor changes into liquid. If water vapor in the atmosphere cools enough, it changes back into liquid. This process of water vapor changing to a liquid is called Condensation.
Solid to vapor is sublimation.
The most well known is dry ice, which changes directly from solid carbon dioxide into the gaseous state. Water can change directly from ice into water vapor (a dry wind blowing over a snow bank will reduce its volume as the frozen water changes directly into water vapor). These are examples of sublimation.
