10 Controlling factors during metamorphism Temperature Pressure / stress Fluids

11 How do pressure and temperture vary in the lithosphere ?

31 Foliated Gneiss Fig. 7.11B

32 Fig. 7.9 Metamorphosed Basalt

33 The role of fluids

34 Fluids fill all pores in a metamorphic rock Reduces effective stresses on the grain-grain contacts - thus favouring brittle deformation Speeds up reactions through –Increasing transport rates –Reduce activation energy for mineral reactions (ie. Acts as a catalyst)

35

36 Prograde metamorphism produces fluids A= B+H 2 O Retrograde metamorphism consumes fluids B+H 2 O=A Thus dry rocks need external fluid supply to undergo retrogressive metamorphism
