Answer:
None of the above
Explanation:
The Bowen reaction series provides an insight to what happens to a crystallizing magma as it cools. There are two arms in the series, the continuous and the discontinuous series. The continuous series is made of the plagioclase feldspar. At high temperature, calcic plagioclase are crystallized out of the melt and at lower temperature, sodic plagioclase begins to from.
The discontinuous series consists of the trend through which other minerals are crystallized. At high temperature, olivine first forms and quartz is the last to crystallized out.
For a given melt, according to the Bowen's reaction series, the composition becomes more felsic at low temperatures. The silica content increases considerably.
The series is designed for silicate minerals found in nature and not sulfate minerals. The continuous series is for plagioclase feldspars not amphibole. Amphibole is in the discontinuous series.
Oceanography is the study of the ocean and the cryosphere are the portions of the earth that are just frozen water (ice). When fresh water glaciers melt, they lower the salt levels in the ocean and and oceanographer studies that and makes sure that it wont have too much of an effect. The cryosphere plays a significant role in the global climate.
Earth has quakes, earthquakes, when the tectonic plates move. Therefore, tectonic plates do exist on earth.
