Question

what causes the different states to occour simultaneously

Answer 1

$\huge\colorbox{plum}{Answer}$

– There is also a point, known as the triple point, where solids, liquids and gases all exist simultaneously. Water, for example, exists in all three states at a temperature of 273.16 Kelvin and a pressure of 611.2 pascals.

They are :-

• Sublimation - Sublimation is the change of solid state directly to gaseous state without going through liquid state.

• Vaporization - Vaporization is the conversion of a liquid to a gas and can occur through either evaporation or boiling.

• Condensation - Condensation occurs when a guess losses energy and comes together to form a liquid. For example - Water vapour.

• Deposition - Deposition is the change of gaseous state directly to solid state without going through liquid state.
