	While most materials will turn into a gas if they get to a high enough [[temperature]], many materials will skip the liquid phase entirely unless under sufficient pressure. For example, [[carbon dioxide]] goes straight from solid to gas form unless under a fair amount of pressure (this is why frozen carbon dioxide is called 'dry ice'). At sufficiently high temperatures and pressures, the differences between gases and liquids disappear to form a [[supercritical fluid]].
