This process is called sublimation. The opposite (deposition) is where a gas turns directly into a solid. Sublimation occurs if the pressure and temperature are right for the specific substance, so that the solid phase in a phase diagram borders the gas phase.
Most cicadas go through a life cycle that lasts from two to five years. Some species have much longer life cycles, such as the North American genus, Magicicada, which has a number of distinct broods that go through either a 17-year or, in some parts of the world, a 13-year life cycle.
Other fish that live longer include loaches, such as the Clown Loach and Weather Loach, which often life 10 to 15 years. Silver Dollar s and Pacus also live 10 years or more, and the ever popular Convict cichlid can live 20 years. Reference List. Here is a reference with the expected lifespan of popular aquarium fish.
