When water vapor turns to a solid, a process known as deposition occurs. This transition typically happens when water vapor cools and loses energy, allowing molecules to bond together in a solid state, forming ice or frost. This process is crucial in nature, contributing to the formation of snowflakes and frost on surfaces. It is the reverse of sublimation, where a solid transitions directly to a gas without becoming liquid.

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 type of precipitation occurs when water vapor turns directly into solid crystals?
Snow
Cold, dry air from Canada picks up water vapor over Great Lakes . What happens to this vapor after that?
it turns into oxygen
What is it called when water turns straight form solid to gas?
Sublimation is a change of a substance from solid to gas without becoming liquid.
What happens when water changes from a solid to a liquid to a vapor?
When water changes from a solid to a liquid, it undergoes melting. When it changes from a liquid to a vapor, it undergoes evaporation. These changes are driven by increases in temperature and energy levels.
What turns the liquid water into water?
Water is water be it solid, liquid or vapor.
What happens to the molecules of water vapor when the temperature of the gas cools?
the water vapor turns to liquid
What happens water vapor rises and cools?
It becomes condensation.The water vapor turns into a liquid
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 are the 2 types of vaporation?
When liquid water turns into a gas or vapor, the process is evaporation. When solid water (ice) turns into a gas or vapor, the process is sublimation.
when water vapor gets cold it turns into a?
When water vapor gets cold it condenses into condensation.
What happens when water vapor cools and turns int water?
Condensation occurs.
What type of precipitation occurs when water vapor turns directly into solid crystals?
Snow
What happens to water vapor when it is cooled?
When water vapor is cooled, it loses energy and condenses back into liquid water. This process is called condensation.
What is the process in which water turns to water vapor?
condensationCondensation is where water vapor turns to liquid. The process is where gas turns to water then vapor and then turns back into liquid.
What happens to the water vapor in th eair when it cools?
it turns into clouds and rains
What is the direct transition of solid ice to vapor?
The direct transition of solid ice to vapor is called sublimation. It occurs when the solid ice skips the liquid phase and turns directly into water vapor without melting.
