Destructive Metamorphism

Destructive Metamorphism is a sub-process within snow metamorphism characterized by the breakdown and rounding of ice crystal edges and bonds due to temperature gradient-driven vapor transport, distinguishing it from constructive metamorphism by its dominance in rapidly equilibrating snowpacks under strong thermal gradients.
