"Sublimation..............."

Explanation:

Sublimation involves the transition "solid" rarr "gas" WITHOUT the intermediacy of the liquid phase. At normal (atmospheric) pressure, a few substances sublime, most notably dry ice, whose sublimation temperature is -78 ""^@C.

The reverse of this transition is called "deposition".
