Question

Which of the following statements is/are true for the Bowen's Reaction Series?
A. It is related to comparative destruction of rocks against applied stresses,
B. It is related to change in animal behaviour in response to change in climate,
C. It is related to crystallisation of minerals from the cooling magma,
D. It contains a continuous and a discontinuous series. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A only
• B. B only
• C. A and C only
• D. C and D only

Hint:

Bowen's Reaction Series explains mineral crystallisation from cooling magma and includes continuous and discontinuous branches.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept:
Bowen's Reaction Series explains the order in which minerals crystallize from cooling magma.

Step 1: Check statement A.
Bowen's Reaction Series is not related to destruction of rocks under stress. \[ A \text{ is incorrect} \]

Step 2: Check statement B.
It is not related to animal behaviour or climate response. \[ B \text{ is incorrect} \]

Step 3: Check statement C.
Bowen's Reaction Series explains crystallisation of minerals from cooling magma. \[ C \text{ is correct} \]

Step 4: Check statement D.
Bowen's Reaction Series has two branches: \[ \text{Continuous series} \] and \[ \text{Discontinuous series} \] So, \[ D \text{ is correct} \] Thus, the correct statements are: \[ C,D \] \[ \therefore \text{Correct Answer is (D)} \]
