👉 The term "destroyed fluid" refers to a substance that has been irreversibly altered or rendered unusable, often due to extreme conditions such as high temperatures, pressures, or chemical reactions. In geological contexts, this can describe fluids like magma, groundwater, or hydrocarbons that have undergone significant changes, such as solidification into minerals, decomposition into gases, or chemical transformation into different compounds. For example, in volcanic settings, molten rock (magma) can cool and solidify into igneous rock, destroying the original fluid phase. Similarly, in hydrothermal systems, hot water can precipitate minerals or react with surrounding rocks, transforming the fluid into a solid or chemically altered state. This transformation often results in the loss of the fluid's original properties and its inability to serve its initial function.
