In order to explain why, in these rocks, certain groups of minerals were rarely found together, Bowen's reaction series was developed.
In order to explain why, in these rocks, certain groups of minerals were rarely found together, Bowen's reaction series was developed. This class of rock is often grouped based on textures like "aphanitic" or "porphyritic," or chemically as being mafic or felsic. This class is typically divided into plutonic, or intrusive, and volcanic, or extrusive. FTP, identify this large class of rocks, including rhyolite, basalt, granite, and obsidian, which forms when magma or lava cools and crystallizes and which is contrasted with metamorphic and sedimentary.
