在地质学中，鲍氏反应系列（Bowen's reaction series）描述岩浆冷却时各种矿物在不同温度、压力下结晶的情况，与岩浆分异有关。由岩石学家诺曼·鲍文提出，以解释为何火成岩中某些种类的矿物常一起出现，其他的则不会。在1920、30年代的一系列实验中，他将各种火成岩粉末加热熔化，再逐步冷却来观察矿物的生成，最后归纳出此结果。鲍氏反应系列在解释岩浆冷却、分异与火成岩形成时很重要。

Within the field of geology, Bowen's reaction series is the work of the petrologist, Norman L. Bowen who was able to explain why certain types of minerals tend to be found together while others are almost never associated with one another. He experimented in the early 1900s with powdered rock material that was heated until it melted and then allowed to cool to a target temperature whereupon he observed the types of minerals that formed in the rocks produced. He repeated this process with progressively cooler temperatures and the results he obtained led him to formulate his reaction series which is still accepted today as the idealized progression of minerals produced by cooling magma. Based upon Bowen's work, one can infer from the minerals present in a rock the relative conditions under which the material had formed.
