what role do fluids play in rock metamorphism
Best Answer: The presence of fluids makes metamorphism easier b/c it allows chemical changes to take place & allows materials to move more easily in the rock. Virtually all rocks contain at least a small amount of water & other fluids. A cool example of metamorphism is how gold is found with quartz a lot of the time. Gold atoms, after thousands of years, accumulate along with silicon atoms. Google gold formation. you'll find some cool stuff.
