Data on heats of reaction indicate that metamorphic chemical changes may in certain cases develop temperature rises of several hundred degrees centigrade. From this evidence and from geological reasoning, it appears that metamorphiam may be fundamentally a spontaneous exothermic chemical process, the initiation and general character of which depend upon kinetic factors. A consistent terrestrial energy economy can be built around this theme, on the basis that the chemical energy of metamorphism is solar energy which has been stored during rock weathering.
