Sublimate also refers to the product obtained by sublimation. [2] [3] The point at which sublimation occurs rapidly (for further details, see below) is called critical sublimation point, or simply sublimation point. Notable examples include sublimation of dry ice at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and that of solid iodine with heating.
A sublimatory [1] [2] or sublimation apparatus is equipment, commonly laboratory glassware, for purification of compounds by selective sublimation. In principle, the operation resembles purification by distillation , except that the products do not pass through a liquid phase .
That is, any snow that falls in that area is counteracted by sublimation or other losses. Such areas are known as blue-ice areas . [ 3 ] These areas have been used as runways (e.g. Wilkins Runway , Novolazarevskaya , Patriot Hills Base Camp ) due to their hard surface, which is suitable for aircraft fitted with wheels rather than skis .
A blue-ice area in the Miller Range with a meteorite. A blue-ice area is an ice-covered area of Antarctica where wind-driven snow transport and sublimation result in net mass loss from the ice surface in the absence of melting, forming a blue surface that contrasts with the more common white Antarctic surface.
These objects are too cold for the sublimation of water ice, which drives comet activity closer to the Sun, to have much of an effect. Thermodynamic models show that the surface temperatures of those comets are near the amorphous/crystalline ice transition temperature of ~130 K, supporting this as a likely source of the activity.

Both naphthalene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene undergo sublimation, meaning that they transition from a solid state directly into a gas; this gas is toxic to moths and moth larvae. [1] Due to the health risks of 1,4-dichlorobenzene, and flammability of naphthalene, other substances like camphor are sometimes used.
Hints and the solution for today's Wordle on Friday, December 13.
Snow density (ρ s) is the mass per unit volume of snow of a known volume, calculated as kg/m 3. Classification runs from very fine at below 0.2 mm to very coarse (2.0–5.0 mm) and beyond. Snow hardness (R) is the resistance to penetration of an object into snow. Most snow studies use a fist or fingers for softer snows (very soft through ...
