Bowen Reaction Series

The Diagram below, mainlly after Barth’s modification of Bowen’s
original diagram, shows the two principal reaction series.
TALAUD 4

Continuous Reaction Series

The reaction maybe Progressive, so that a continuous
series of homogeneous solid solutions is produced. in the
case of plagioclase feldspars, for instance, the first-formed
crystals are those richest in lime; as reaction goes on and
the temperature falls, the crystals become progressively
more sodic. changes of this kind constitute continuous
reaction series.
TALAUD 4

Discontinuous Reaction Series

Ferromagnesian minerals, on the other hand, as cooling
and reaction continue, are transformed at definite
temperature into other minerals, or different crystal
structure. olivine, for example, may be transformed into
hypersthene, or augite into hornblende. such abrupt
changes constitute discontinuous reaction series.

Detrital sediment
Most mechanically deposited sediments, such as mud, sand,
and gravel, are products of surface weathering and erosion;
they consist of the disintegrated and decomposed debris of
older rocks, transported and deposited by water, ice, or air.
They are appropriately termed detrital or epiclastic
sediments.

Chemical Sediment
Sediments deposited by chemical means, on the other hand,
consist principally of such substances as carbonates,
sulphates, silica, phosphates, and halides. Nearly all of
these originate by chemical precipitation from bodies of
surface water, but they do not result from a single process.
Precipitation may be caused directly, by evaporation or by
purely inorganic reactions among dissolved salts. Or it may
be caused indirectly, by organisms. They may be minute
bacteria, or they may be organisms, such as mollusks and
corals, that form easily visible skeletal secretions, and the
deposits formed by them are termed organic or biogenic
