==== Potential distinction ====
For clarification, a distinction between the two corresponding cases is needed. With reference to a [[phase diagram]], the sublimation that occurs left of the solid-gas boundary, the triple point or the solid-liquid boundary (corresponding to evaporation in vaporization) may be called ''gradual sublimation''; and the substance ''sublimes gradually'', regardless of rate. The sublimation that occurs at the solid-gas boundary (critical sublimation point) (corresponding to boiling in vaporization) may be called ''rapid sublimation'', and the substance ''sublimes rapidly''. The words "gradual" and "rapid" have acquired special meanings in this context and no longer describe the rate of sublimation.{{cn|date=April 2024}}<!-- This distinction is used only on this page and nowhere else, to minimize confusion.
