>> A solid can be converted into liquid and then to gas by decreasing the pressure and increasing the temperature. ... >> Every state of matter of any substance is stable at a corresponding pressure and temperature. Thus, temperature and pressure determines the state of a substance
There are three states of any physical matter, solid, gaseous and liquid.
Interchanging among these states of a physical matter is mainly occurred due to the change of temperature, that's why temperature is an obvious component which is related with the state of a physical matter.
On the other hand, environmental air pressure also affects the state change of physical matters.
Eg. Extra pressure on the gaseous substances can transform the gas into liquid.
In this way both temperature and pressure are major reasons behind the state change of a physical matter.
