Question

which process requires the release of energy? sublimation melting deposition vaporization

Explanation:

Phase changes that move from a higher energy state to a lower energy state release energy. Sublimation (solid to gas), melting (solid to liquid), and vaporization (liquid to gas) all absorb energy as they move to higher energy states. Deposition is the phase change of gas directly to solid, which is a transition to a lower energy state, so it releases energy.

Answer:

deposition
