Within the field of geology, Bowen's reaction series is the work of the Canadian petrologist Norman L. Bowen, who summarized, based on experiments and observations of natural rocks, the sequence of crystallization of common silicate minerals from typical basaltic magma undergoing fractional … See more

- Bowen’s Reaction Series is a critical concept in geology that describes the sequence in which minerals crystallize from a cooling magma. It is divided into two main branches: the discontinuous branch and the continuous branch. Discontinuous Branch: 1. Involves the crystallization of specific minerals at distinct temperature intervals. 2. Begins wit...
