Question

What type of percipitation forms when water vapor changes directly into a soild?

Answer 1

That's a phase change, and it's deposition

the other weird one is a solid going to vapor, which is sublimation

EDIT:  Oh, if that's what you were asking, then snow I guess

or..hail?  I dunno

Answer 2

Snow

Answer 3

Precipitation?  I would say it's either snow, or in more solid form, hail

Answer 4

frost is the type of precipitation that occurs through the process of deposition

it requires a solid surface chilled below freezing...vapor in the air is deposited, or frozen, on this surface without ever entering a liquid state

the point at which this occurs is called the frost point, which is analogous to the dew point; except that deposition (frost) occurs instead of condensation (dew)

EDIT: Okay, looks like snow also...Frost AND Snow
