Growth conditions affect the velocities of disappearance and lifetime of faces of growing crystals. Supersaturation is a factor which causes either an increase or a decrease in velocities of disappearance of faces and their lifetime depending on the mechanism and kinetics of growth of disappearing and adjacent faces. The possible relationships between velocities of disappearance of faces, their lifetime and supersaturation have been derived and discussed.
