Water vapor that changes in to an ice crystal is called deposition. This what happens in the formation of snow.
Water ice turns directly into water vapor through the process of sublimation. Water vapor turns directly into ice in a process called deposition.
It's called deposition.
The process by which water (liquid) changes into Water vapor (gas) is called Evaporation.
When water changes into a solid it becomes a solid!
MELTING is the term for the process where water changes from a solid into a liquid.
Deposition or, if water, frosting.
Deposition is the process in which a gas changes directly to a solid.At the proper conditions the thermodynamic equilibrium will be between solid and gas rather than solid/liquid or liquid/gas. Under these conditions it is thermodynamically unfavorable to form a liquid phase. As an example - anything below the triple point of water will only allow solid/gas equilibrium.For example:Iodine vapours when condensed at 1 atmosphere pressure change directly to solid iodine.Frost will form on the windshield of a carNote: the reverse process of changing directly from solid to gas is called sublimation. Sublimation is NOT the process of Gas --> Solid. That would be like confusing melting with freezing or confusing boiling with condensing.

Water changes directly to a solid when heat is applied
The process in which a gas changes directly into a solid is called deposition.
I think it is called freezing
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.
The name for solid water is ice. It changes to a liquid when it melts.
Ice.
The three phases of matter (as classically defined) are solid, liquid and gas. Most phase changes that begin with solid and end with gas pass through the liquid phase on the way. Likewise, phase changes that begin with gas and end with solid pass through liquid on the way. Think of water... usually, from solid ice it passes first to liquid water, and only then does it evaporate to gaseous water vapor. It is sometimes possible for solid to change directly to gas. or gas change directly to solid, but these phase changes are the exception, so they can be called "unusual".
Melting.
