Vaporization of an element or compound is a phase transition from the liquid phase to gas phase. There are two sorts of vaporization: evaporation and boiling.

Evaporation is a phase transition from the liquid phase to gas phase that occurs at temperatures below the boiling temperature at a given pressure.

Boiling is a phase transition from the liquid phase to gas phase that occurs at or above the temperature the boiling temperature.

The term vaporization has also been used to refer to the physical destruction of an object upon exposure to great heat; this includes human bodies, as noted in discussions of the effects of nuclear attack, including the 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the 1952 "vaporization" of the Marshall Island of Elugelab by the Ivy Mike thermonuclear weapon test..[1]
