Best Answer

The ratio of the concentration (by weight) of an element (e.g. Ti) in a crystallizing mineralto its concentration in the magma. For example, KTi = [Ti]min./[Ti]magma, where kTi is the partition coefficient for Ti, and [Ti]min. and [Ti]magma are the concentrations of Ti in the mineral and magma respectively. The value of k is dependent on temperature, pressure and the composition of crystallizing mineral and magma.
