Fluid-Induced Processes: Metasomatism and Metamorphism

Metamorphism and metasomatism both involve the reequilibration of mineral assemblages due to changes in pressure, temperature and ⁄ or chemical environment. Both processes involve material transport but on different length scales, so every metamorphic reaction is metasomatic on a local scale. Fluids...
