Changes of State

Solid to Liquid

To change from a solid to a liquid, he is absorbed which causes 

the melting of the solid into the liquid. The process of changing 

the state requires that energy is transferred in the form of heat. In 

this case, when a solid transitions into a liquid, it can play a 

crucial role in the atmospheric processes which includes the 

water cycle. 

Liquid to Gas

From a liquid to a gas, water goes through a process called 

evaporation in which heat is absorbed and "evaporates" into 

the air turning into water vapor. This process is a well known 

factor in an atmospheric process known as the water cycle. 

They use this process to escape the surface of a liquid to 

transform into a gas.

Gas to Liquid

From a gas to a liquid, water goes through a well known 

process called condensation. At this time, heat is released from 

the gas which "condensates" into clouds which can hold 

precipitation. This process is well known as being part of the 

atmosphere since this process helps to form clouds that are made 

and can store water. 

Liquid to Solid

From a liquid to a solid, precipitation can occur or it could 

happen inside of the clouds where water is stored. What 

happens is heat is released which causes the freezing of 

water. This is a known cause of precipitation such as snow, 

sleet, and hail in which they all come out as forms of ice. 

This water that freezes because of released heat can 

increasingly freeze until it falls through the clouds.

Causes

The causes of all of these transformations is simple in the 

fact that they are what cause these changes in which they 

are known as sublimation and deposition. In this case, 

sublimation is when heat is absorbed and deposition is 

when heat is released. These are what cause these changes 

of of solids to liquids, liquids to gases, gases to liquids, and 

liquids to solids.
