Question

Using the discontinuous branch of Bowen’s Reaction Series. Determine the solidification temperatures of Olivine, Pyroxene, Amphibole, and Biotite. Record the reference pressures that correspond to these temperatures
At temperatures below the solidification temperature of Biotite, potassium feldspar and quartz will solidify. Determine the solidification temperature of potassium feldspar and quartz.
Consider the continuous branch of Bowen’s Reaction Series. As in Procedure I and II, determine the range of solidification temperatures for calcium rich plaglioclases and sodium rich plaglioclas
