Deposition is the process in which a gas is transformed into a solid without passing through the liquid phase. This occurs when the temperature and pressure conditions are such that the gas molecules lose kinetic energy and come together to form a solid. Examples of deposition include the formation of frost on surfaces in cold weather or the formation of snowflakes in freezing temperatures.
