Hvilke endringer skjer i en bergart under metamorfose ?
• Teksturelle endringer
• Mineralogiske endringer
• Strukturelle endringer
• Kjemiske endringer

Controlling factors during metamorphism
• Temperature
• Pressure / stress
• Fluids
How do pressure and temperture vary in the lithosphere ?

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
