Question

which minerals are associated with the right - hand branch of bowen’s reaction series?
olivine and pyroxene
feldspars
mica and feldspars
quartz and biotite

Explanation:

Bowen's reaction series has two branches. The right - hand branch is the continuous reaction series which involves the formation of feldspars. Olivine and pyroxene are in the discontinuous branch (left - hand in some depictions). Mica is in the discontinuous branch and quartz forms at the very low - temperature end but is not part of the main right - hand (continuous) branch in the traditional sense. Feldspars are the main minerals in the right - hand (continuous) branch of Bowen's reaction series.

Answer:

feldspars
