The agent of metamorphism that would cause for the overall composition of a rock to change would be hydrothermal solutions. These solutions contain mineral substances that are dissolved in the hot water. When in contact with a rock, the minerals may change the composition of the rock.

'Hydro thermal fluids' are the agents of metamorphism that can cause overall composition of the rock to change.
Explanation:
- Hydro thermal metamorphism can also be referred as metasomatism. This process will take place over vast regions of rock and constitute various regional metamorphisms.
- The heat produced from the igneous body and hot volatile liquids serves as the catalytic metamorphic reactions in the host rock.
- The metasomatism is the process where the hot water solutions can move through a mass rock via pore space. Thus, this metasomatism process can remarkable change the overall composition of the parent rock.
