Give everyday examples of each water state and transitions

Below is the everyday-life breakdown of water’s states and transitions with examples:

States of Water

• Solid (Ice): Ice cubes in a drink, snow on the ground, frost on a car window.
• Liquid (Water): Drinking water, rain, rivers, and puddles after a storm.
• Gas (Water Vapor/Steam): Steam rising from boiling tea, foggy bathroom mirror after a hot shower, clouds in the sky (condensed vapor).

Transitions Between States

• Melting (Solid → Liquid): Ice cubes turning into water in a glass.
• Freezing (Liquid → Solid): Water in an ice tray solidifying in the freezer.
• Evaporation (Liquid → Gas): Clothes drying on a clothesline, water disappearing from a puddle on a sunny day.
• Condensation (Gas → Liquid): Water droplets forming on a cold soda can, morning dew on grass.
• Sublimation (Solid → Gas): Dry ice turning into fog, snow slowly disappearing in freezing but dry weather without melting first.
• Deposition (Gas → Solid): Frost forming on car windows or leaves overnight when vapor turns directly into ice.
