The three agents of metamorphism are heat, fluids[chemically active] and pressure.

Explanation:

  1. 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.
  2. FLUIDS-It speeds up the movement of the ions during the metamorphism reaction.
  3. PRESSURE-By providing heat they can control which minerals or forms of minerals are stable.
