🔍 Key Concepts

• Phase changes of water (vapor, liquid, solid) • Difference between condensation and sublimation • Where and how ice forms on cold surfaces in the atmosphere

💭 Think About

• Think about which option involves water vapor turning directly into ice crystals without becoming liquid first. • Consider where you might see this phenomenon early in the morning on metal decks, railings, or exposed gear when the air is moist and the temperature is below freezing. • Ask yourself which term is used for a thin, crystalline coating on cold objects, not for falling precipitation or clear, smooth ice glaze.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option correctly involves sublimation (gas → solid) rather than freezing of liquid water. • Eliminate any option that describes precipitation coming from clouds rather than forming on existing surfaces. • Confirm which term is typically associated with a feathery or crystalline deposit rather than a smooth, glassy sheet of ice.
