Vap·o·ri·za·tion

n.

The act or process of vaporizing, or the state of being converted into vapor; the artificial formation of vapor; specifically, the conversion of water into steam, as in a steam boiler. or changing states from liquid to a gas.

This is different from evaporation. Evaporation is only at the surface of the water, while vaporization is all the way throughout.

Vaporization takes place when the particles in a liquid gain enough energy to move independently, forming a gas.
