B) remobilization
C) pressure solution
D) all of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these processes can occur during metamorphism and deformation. Recrystallization involves the formation of new mineral grains that are more stable under the new temperature and pressure conditions. Remobilization involves the movement of ions and elements to form new minerals or structures. Pressure solution is a process where minerals dissolve in areas of high stress and precipitate in areas of lower stress, leading to deformation.
