The Bowen's reaction series is given below
There are two branches of the series one is discontinuous in left and continuous in right
The Olivine mineral crystallized first near their source of magma generation because olivine has highest temperature after orthopyroxine and clinopyroxene
The sequence of crystallization of minerals are shown in figure above. Because the mafic rock crystallize first with accumulating high temperature minerals. Magma move away from their source, evolution of magma starts and composition of magma become more and more felsic in nature.
Olivine is most unstable mineral and formed at Very high temperature and may easily weathered in comparison to tje other minerals but quartz is most stable that is formed at very low temperature and may not easily affected by weathering.
As a rock is worn down, the pieces that are produced will move away from the...
Based on the image below, what would rock classification would be appropriate for an igneous rock containing 19% Olivine, 43% Pyroxene, 36% Calcium-rich Plagioclase, and 2% Hornblende? Composition Rock types FELSIC Granite Rhyolite INTERMEDIATE Diorite Andesite MAFIC Gabbro Basalt ULTRAMAFIC Peridotite Orthoclase feldspar Quartz Plagioclase feldspar Percentage of mineral by volume (Calcium-rich) (Sodium-rich) Pyroxene Muscovite Biotite mica Olivine Amphibole 70% 40% Silica content Sodium and potassium content Iron, magnesium, and calcium content 700'C Temperature at which melting starts 1200C) Felsic...

How does Physical Weathering change the chemical composition of a rock material? It creates new, different minerals from the old minerals It doesn't change the chemical composition of a rock material It dissolves soluble minerals, moving ions into solutions It relies on chemical reactions to break down the minerals In the ASCE or USBR Rock Weathering Descriptors, the description of "Moderately Severe" says that all (minerals) except quartz are discolored or stained, and that all feldspars are dull, discolored and...
What properties cause some magmas to be more felsic than others?Different minerals crystallize at different temperatures, changing the chemistry.Some parts of the mantle are felsic and some are mafic, creating felsic magma in the crust.Water from subducting ocean plate mixes with the magma to create felsic magmaAnimals change the chemistry of the magma, making it more felsic.Silica content in igneous rocks controls (select the correct term)["texture", "viscosity", "crystal size"] which, in turn, controls ["eruption style", "crystal size"] ...

Which of the following statements is TRUE? Horizontal layers in sedimentary rocks are called "beds". Evaporites (e.g., rock salt) have a purely biological origin. Shale is a coarse-grained rock. A clastic sedimentary rock is one that forms from the precipitation of calcite from seawater Which of the following is MOST likely to trigger a rapid mass wasting process? a large earthquake decrease in moisture content reduction of mass...
Please read the article bellow and discuss the shift in the
company's approach to genetic analysis. Please also discuss what
you think about personal genomic companies' approaches to research.
Feel free to compare 23andMe's polices on research with another
company's. Did you think the FDA was right in prohibiting 23andMe
from providing health information?
These are some sample talking points to get you thinking about
the ethics of genetic research in the context of Big Data. You
don't have to...
Please read the article and answer about questions. You and the Law Business and law are inseparable. For B-Money, the two predictably merged when he was negotiat- ing a deal for his tracks. At other times, the merger is unpredictable, like when your business faces an unexpected auto accident, product recall, or government regulation change. In either type of situation, when business owners know the law, they can better protect themselves and sometimes even avoid the problems completely. This chapter...
I need help with my very last assignment of this term
PLEASE!!, and here are the instructions: After reading Chapter Two,
