PlanetGeo: The Geology Podcast

How Do Rocks Really Crystallize?

Chris and Jesse Season 4 Episode 5

Today, Chris and Jesse once again revisit the topic of Bowen's Reaction Series.  We've never approached the topic in such a before.  The heart of our discussion centers around 1- What is Bowen's Reaction Series? and 2- How do we approach this highly idealized concept in an introductory class.  How rocks really crystallize in a geologic setting is far more complex than Bowen's Reaction Series.  This can lead to confusion when students progress in their geologic studies when they learn that Bowen's is the whole story (or even the correct story).  We hope you enjoy this technical and philosophical discussion.
