What are the effects on metamorphic minerals and textures of temperature, confining pressure and differential stress? - Temp increses dehydsrates the rocks, confining the rocks, compacting them. Differential stresses produces foilation dues to stress in 1/2 directions Describe the role of fluids during metamorphism and metasomatism - Fluids speed up chemical reactions at lower temperature

What are the effects on metamorphic minerals and textures of temperature, confining pressure and differential stress? - Temp increses dehydsrates the rocks, confining the rocks, compacting them. Differential stresses produces foilation dues to stress in 1/2 directions Describe the role of fluids during metamorphism and metasomatism - Fluids speed up chemical reactions at lower temperature Compare the pressure and temperature condition of regional and contact metamorphism. How do regional m...
