1 Evolution Activity You have grams of magma atoms (oxygen, the most abundant, is not included) Each poker chip is gram of a specific atom. Separate chips into colored stacks. What is the highest percentage atom? Next most abundant? Evolution Activity (silicon) = white (aluminum) = green (potassium) = yellow (calcium) = lilac (iron) = red (magnesium) = orange (hydroxide water) = light (sodium) = P, Mn, Ti, Au, Ag (rare elements) = black Evolution Activity What percentage of the magma is licon right now? (# ) x = percentage = What should happen to that percentage as we evolve the magma chamber? Evolution Activity What percentage of the magma is Water right now? (# ) x = percentage = What should happen to that percentage as we evolve the magma chamber?

2 Evolution Activity What percentage of the magma is & right now? (# ) x = percentage = What should happen to that percentage as we evolve the magma chamber? Evolution Activity What percentage of the magma is Gold (Au) right now? (# ) x = percentage = What should happen to that percentage as we evolve the magma chamber? Evolution Activity Olivine Plagioclase () Pyroxene Magnetite Using the mineral handout (in bag), create a poker stack for olivine. Review how to create a mineral stack, based on chemical formula. You will do this same thing as minerals are removed from magma. ALWAYS EEP MINERALS IN THEIR OWN SEPARATE STACS, to prevent mistakes. white green yellow lilac red orange light black P, Mn, Ti O O O O
