Does it not go from a condensed phase to a gaseous phase?

Explanation:

The which we can represent by the equilibrium..

H_2O(l) rightleftharpoonsH_2O(g)

Note that at ALL temperatures both WATER and ICE express a vapour pressure, the which for water we call it the
"saturated vapour pressure", a function of temperature. P_"SVP"-=23.8*mm*Hg at 298*K. What is P_"SVP" at 373.15*K?

And of course as water vaporizes it expresses a much GREATER volume.
