Terminology
| Term | Explanation |
|---|---|
| melting | A process where solid matter transforms into liquid matter as its temperature increases. E.g. ice → water. |
| evaporation | A process where liquid matter transforms into gaseous matter as its temperature increases. E.g. water → vapor. |
| condensation | A process where gaseous matter transforms into liquid matter as its temperature decreases. E.g. vapor → water. |
| solidification | A process where liquid matter transforms into solid matter as its temperature decreases. E.g. water → ice. |
