Water vapor from humid winter air deposits directly into a solid, crystalline frost pattern on a window, without ever being liquid in the process.

Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without passing through the intermediate liquid state. The verb form of sublimation is sublime, or less preferabl
Deposition (phase transition)
…in which gas transforms into solid without passing through the liquid phase. Deposition is a thermodynamic process. The reverse of deposition is sublimation and hence sometimes deposition is called desublimation. One example of deposition is the process by which, in sub-freezing air, water vapor changes…
