place the following minerals in order of their crystallization from a magma as it cools from high to low temperatures. the mineral that crystallizes at the highest temperature should be at the top.



Answer :

The minerals are listed below in decreasing order of temperature or order of high temperature to low temperature for crystallization.

Phagioclase/ olivin> pyroxene>hornblende> biotite> feldspar> muscovite>quartz.

Igneous rocks are composed of minerals that crystallize at a variety of different temperatures. This explains how a cooling magma could contain some crystals while still being primarily liquid. The Bowen reaction series is the order in which minerals form crystals from a magma.

Olivine typically crystallizes first among the common silicate minerals, at a temperature between 1200° and 1300°C.

The olivine crystals react with some of the silica in the magma as the temperature drops, assuming that some silica is still present in the magma, to create pyroxene. This process continues down the discontinuous branch, from olivine to pyroxene, pyroxene to amphibole, and amphibole to biotite, as long as there is still silica present and the rate of cooling is slow.
