Metasomatism and the Chemical Transformation of Rock The Role of Fluids in Terrestrial and Extraterrestrial Processes /

Fluid-aided mass transfer and subsequent mineral re-equilibration are the two defining features of metasomatism and must be present in order for metamorphism to occur. Coupled with igneous and tectonic processes, metasomatism has played a major role in the formation of the Earth<U+0019>s conti...
