Figure 1 below shows the phase diagram of pure water which contains inside a closed

cylinder in terms of its temperature and absolute pressure. There are three main areas (solid, liquid
and vapour) separated from each other by three lines (melting, vaporization and sublimation) in
this temperature-pressure phase diagram. Both the solid and liquid states are separated by melting
line whereas the vaporization line separated the liquid and vapour regions. Meanwhile, sublimation
line lies between the solid and vapour regions. These three lines are the conditions where the two
separated states are existed at the same time. Then, the three lines meet at triple point, where all
the three states can be presented in equilibrium.
