Explanation:
Sublimation describes a solid turning directly into a gas. Melting, on the other hand, occurs when a solid turns into a liquid. Water can, under the right circumstances, sublimate, though it usually melts at temperatures above 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Carbon dioxide (CO2), however, is very different. The conditions that determine whether CO2 melts or sublimates are both temperature and atmospheric pressure.
