When water goes from liquid to vapor it is vaporization.

Boiling is a subset of vaporization. vaporization caused by heating.

When water goes from ice to vapor it is sublimation. It is not boiling.

Does frozen carbon dioxide cause water to boil when you throw it in? Is the
carbon dioxide boiling? Is it sublimating?
