   ocr: SUBLIMATION OLIDS USUALLY MELT into liquids before changing into gases. When I a solid sublimes, it changes directly into a gas. Some gases also sublime straight back into the solid state. When carbon dioxide - is cooled, for example, it forms solid dryice directly. Sublimation may take longer to occur than melting or evaporation.
