The three agents of metamorphism are heat, fluids[chemically active] and pressure.
Explanation:
- HEAT-It is one of the most important element of metamorphism.
It makes all chemical reactions go faster and it converts a different mineral with a more stable atomic structure. - FLUIDS-It speeds up the movement of the ions during the metamorphism reaction.
- PRESSURE-By providing heat they can control which minerals or forms of minerals are stable.
