Melting Point

  • (denser) mafic rocks crystalize at higher temperatures
  • (lighter) felsic rocks crystalize at lower temperaturers

Bowen’s Reaction Series

Since different minerals melt at different tempreatures (as in above), we have a…

Partial Melting

Partial Melting! This results in the felsic runoff first, and then the
