Answer:

Sublimation is basically cause by the heat absorption and this process is an endothermic since it require extra energy.

It basically provide sufficient energy to molecules to control the various type of attractive forces from the neighbors and then convert it into the vapor phase.

Sublimation occur when the particle of gases become cold because some substances has high vapor pressure. Sublimation is the endothermic change and it occur below the triple point in terms of pressure and temperature.
