What is bowens reaction series

Geography
1 answer:
lesya692 [45]3 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer: </u>

The ranking of common igneous silicate minerals based on the temperature at which crystallization occurs is called Bowen’s reaction series.

<u> Explanation: </u>

In  Bowen’s reaction series the minerals with high crystallization temperature are present at the top layer. This means these minerals are the first to crystallize from the magma and they are mostly unstable. The Bowen's reaction series is represented in the Y shape. The left branch of this Y has minerals containing iron and magnesium. They are called as Ferromagnesium minerals.

The right branch of the Y contains plagioclase feldspars minerals. Temperature gradually decreases down along the Bowen’s reaction series from 1200^{\circ} \mathrm{C}to 700^{\circ} \mathrm{C}. At certain low temperature, the two branches combine forming minerals similar to felsic rocks such as orthoclase feldspar, quartz and muscovite mica.

Why did britain, a former enemy, propose a common policy on latin america?
dexar [7]

Britain proposed a common policy on Larin America because the Monroe Doctrine satisfied the demands of the British, which kept the French, Dutch and Spanish out of America, as well as sustained  trade with them. Furthermore, it allowed the establishing of the "Informal Empire" greatly of South America, where Britain constructed the telephone networks, dominated trade and railways. As a matter of fact, America was  in no position to regulate and control the doctrine, but the US Navy was too small, on the other hand, the Royal Navy is the largest navy in the World until 1946, could control  it.

Based on what you know about the location of the earth in relation to the sun, why is this called the Goldilocks zone in other g
erik [133]
<h2>Answer: C. It's an area that's an optimal distance from the sun for potentially supporting life.</h2>

The Goldilocks zone, also called Habitable Zone, refers to the region in the space where a planet is located at a distance from its star, which is ideal for living conditions.

For this to be possible, the incident luminosity and the radiation flow on the surface of the planet must be sufficient to maintain the adequate temperature so that water can exist in liquid form (a fundamental requirement for life).

In fact, it is stated that the Earth is in the habitable zone of the solar system and that is why it is capable of housing life.
