Procedure:
Make a snowball (or use crushed ice). Pick up a handful
of snow (or crushed ice) and compress it to form a lump sturdy enough to be used as a missile. In the center
of the snowball, the light fluffy crystals will have recrystallized in a more compact form, because of the
pressure of your hands. This is quite close to the metamorphic process.
