It is proposed that one of the most important mechanisms of interrelationship between deformation and metamorphism is the facilitation of one of several grain-size-sensitive deformation mechanisms resulting from the formation of fine-grained products of a metamorphic reaction. During prograde metamorphism, such effects are likely to be transient, because grain coarsening and textural equilibration are likely in response to rising temperature conditions. Thus deformation mechanisms are often difficult to infer from such naturally deformed rocks.In localized shear zones exhibiting retrogressive metamorphism, evidence of enhanced deformability by such mechanisms is most likely to be preserved, because cooling conditions inhibit grain growth and both deformed and undeformed rocks are likely to be preserved.An experimental study has been made of the effects of deformation on serpentinite under conditions of progressive dehydration but with controlled pore pressure. A marked weakening (near-linear viscous rheol...
