👉 Mountain fluids, also known as orogenic fluids, are a type of fluid that forms deep within the Earth's crust during mountain-building processes, or orogeny. These fluids originate from the dehydration of rocks as tectonic plates collide and compress, releasing water and other volatile substances trapped within the rocks. As these fluids migrate upwards through fractures and faults, they can significantly influence the geological processes in the region, including metamorphism, magma generation, and the formation of mineral deposits. They play a crucial role in shaping the Earth's crust during mountain formation and can lead to the creation of economically valuable resources.
