The role of fluids

• 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)

• Prograde metamorphism produces fluidsA= B+H2O

• Retrograde metamorphism consumes fluidsB+H2O=A

Thus dry rocks need external fluid supply to undergo retrogressive metamorphism
