Physical evidence comes from veins and breccias documenting the impact of fluids in breaking rocks and creating fracture permeability for ore formation, as a result of the fluid expansion that is commonly associated with phase separation between melts and multiple fluids. Chemical evidence of fluid–fluid interaction includes the precipitation of minerals in veins as a result of fluid boiling or mixing between chemically contrasting fluids. Fluid inclusions record interactions of... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
