   Peter Fairbrother to All   
   opposite of sublimation?

   From: peter@tsto.co.uk   
      
   What's the reverse process to sublimation called? eg, water vapour   
   condenses as crystals from air at bout -30, CO2 condenses as solid from   
   vapour below  about -70 (triple point0, and so on.   
      
   I know some people call it deposition, but is there another name,   
   specifically when the crystals form out of clear vapour rather than on a   
   preexisting surface?   
      
      
   Thanks.
