Bowen's Reaction Serives: Magma Differentiation

For Teachers 9th - 12th
Students investigate the differentiation of magma to form different minerals present in a rock. By using the model proposed by Bowen, they determine the depth, temperature, and composition of magma. Students explain why some minerals...
