I’M SO HAPPY!
I’M LEARNING THIS, TOOOOO!

So, you know
Solid - Liquid = Melting
Liquid - Gas = Vaporization (Boiling)
Gas - Liquid = Condesation
Liquid - Solid = Freezing

What you need to know is
Solid - Gas
Gas - Solid

Sublimation is the process of solid to a gas
Deposition is the process of a gas to a solid

Think of Sublimation as a promotion directly from a solid to a gas
Think of Deposition as going down from the high rank of Gas to a Solid

Both Sublimation and Deposition can be used in an example with Nitrogen

The answer is Sublimation
P.S. Sorry I typed a lot to explain
