Sublimation is a process in which a solid directly transforms into a gas without going through the liquid phase. This occurs when the temperature and pressure of a substance are lower than its triple point, the temperature and pressure at which the solid, liquid, and gas phases coexist in equilibrium. Sublimation is the opposite of deposition, in which a gas directly transforms into a solid without going through the liquid phase.
