What is an example of a gas changing directly to a solid?
Examples of a gas changing directly into a solid (deposition) - Water vapor in a cloud changing into solid snowflakes. Water vapor in the air turning directly to frost on any sub-freezing surfaces.
What type of precipitation occurs when water vapor turns directly into solid crystals?
Snow
What is it called when water changes from a solid directly to a gas?
Water vapor that changes in to an ice crystal is called deposition. This what happens in the formation of snow.
What does the word sublimation mean in the water cycle?
In the water cycle, sublimation refers to the process by which water transforms from a solid (ice or snow) directly into water vapor without melting into a liquid first. This occurs primarily in cold environments when there is enough energy for the water molecules to transition from a solid state to a gaseous state.
Is a water vapor solid liquid or a gas?
Water vapor is a gas.
The process by which water vapor changes directly to a solid is called?

Can a gas change to a solid. If yes what is it called?
Yes, a gas can change directly to a solid. This process is called deposition. The gas particles condense and pack tightly together forming a solid directly. Water (or water vapor in its gas phase) can change directly into ice by subfreezing the water vapor.
What type of precipitation is formed when water vapor changes directly into a solid?
snow or hail
What type of precipitation occurs when water vapor turns directly into solid crystals?
Snow

Water vapor that changes in to an ice crystal is called deposition. This what happens in the formation of snow.
What is the only gas that can turn into a solid?
A gas can't turn directly into a solid but a solid can turn into gas for example ice to water vapor.
What material changes from a solid to a gas?
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.
Is a water a vapor solid?
No. Water vapor is a gas.
What forms when air temperature is below freezing and water vapor changes directly to solid?
snow
