Pressure Solution

Pressure Solution is a deformation mechanism in structural geology wherein minerals dissolve at grain contacts under differential stress, with the solute transported by pore fluids, distinguished from other brittle or ductile mechanisms by its dependence on chemical processes and stress-induced solubility gradients.
