What is water - rock interations on Karst?
Is the morphological landscape of dissoloution and percipation of near surface bed rock.
What evidence for water in rocks?
metasomatism
What is water - rock interations on weathering?
Transporting is a key and at high temp (100-300 deg c) of water changing the rock. water is great at weathing because its has great solution properties.
What is different between metamorphism and metasomatism?
Metasomatism is specifically the chemical change of rock by the introduction of hot fluids, creating a different type of rock.Broadly, metamorphism is the change of rock from one type to another by heat and/or pressure.
What is metasomatic?
Metasomatism is part of the process the rocks undergo when they change from one form to another. It comes after the recrystallization and neomorphism processes. It is the chemical alteration of a rock by hydrothermal fluids. Broadly, reaction of rock/minerals with hot water A form of metamorphism -Most metamorphism is closed system -Metasomatism is an open system •Reacts with volatiles, removes solubles •Serpentinization •Skarns

What is the physical processes that are important in transforming sedimentary rock into metamorphic rocks?
The physical processes important in transforming sedimentary rocks to metamorphic rocks are, Pressure, Temperature, Stress, Depth of burial and Metasomatism.
What is the major difference between metamorphism and metasomatism?
Metamorphism is the solid-state recrystallization of pre-existing rocks due to changes in physical and chemical conditions, primarily heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids. Mineralogical, chemical and crystallographic changes can occur during this process. Changes at or just beneath Earth's surface due to weathering and/or diagenesis are not classified as metamorphism.Three types of metamorphism exist: contact, dynamic and regional. Metamorphism produced with increasing pressure and temperature conditions is known as prograde metamorphism. Conversely, decreasing temperatures and pressure characterizeretrograde metamorphism.Metasomatism is the chemical alteration of a rock by hydrothermal and other fluids. Metasomatism can occur via the action of hydrothermal fluids from an igneous or metamorphic source.In the igneous environment, metasomatism creates skarns, greisen, and may affect hornfels in the contact metamorphic aureole adjacent to an intrusiverock mass. In the metamorphic environment, metasomatism is created by mass transfer from a volume of metamorphic rock at higher stress andtemperature into a zone with lower stress and temperature, with metamorphic hydrothermal solutions acting as a solvent. This can be envisaged as the metamorphic rocks within the deep crust losing fluids and dissolved mineral components as hydrous minerals break down, with this fluid percolating up into the shallow levels of the crust to chemically change and alter these rocks.Because metasomatism is a mass transfer process, it is not restricted to the rocks which are changed by addition of chemical elements and minerals or hydrous compounds. In all cases, to produce a metasomatic rock some other rock is also metasomatised, if only by dehydration reactions with minimal chemical change.
What does the water represent how about rock?
What does the water represent ? How about the rock ?
What type of rock is water proof?
no rock is water proof if a rock get hit with water it does erode so no rock is water proof
