Synopsis

Unique among the terrestrial planets, the Earth has a substantial hydrosphere, which has had an extraordinary influence on the way the planet has evolved. Whereas volcanic activity is the main route by which fluids escape from depth to reach the atmosphere/hydrosphere, the dominant route by which fluids may enter the deeper levels of the Earth is via subduction zones. How deep can these fluids penetrate? More importantly, what influence do fluids have in controlling geological processes at depth?
