Ophiolites form when the ocean crust is young and buoyant. At this point, it is less dense than the continents and is pushed on the continental crust when tectonic action occurs. Ophiolites are a part of the oceanic crust and upper mantle that have been placed on a continent.

What is the mineral olivine used for?
Some very good olivine samples can be used as a gemstone (they are called peridot, then, after the french word for olivine). Olivine also reacts with CO2, and because of this, it can be used to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. The actual usability of this is still a field of research, but it is estimated that 1 kg of olivine can remove the CO2 produced by burning 1 liter of oil. Olivine is quite common, so this can prove to be a very popular method.
In bowens reaction series how do the tetrahedra in feldspar differ from those of silicates?
The simple answer is... Feldspar has a much higher complex and stable tetrahedral orientation in comparison to that of any other Silicate variation higher up on the reation series latter. Feldspar is one of the most stable variations in orientation of, what boils down to, silicate tetrahedra. Because Feldspar is technically a form of silicate tetrahedra orientation, I am assuming you are asking how the silicate tetrahedra orientations vary from its most simple (i.e. Olivine) to its mosts complex (i.e. quartz/FELDSPAR) forms. Esentially a Silicate Ion SiO4^-4 is the most basic building block of FELDSPAR. Knowing this, as you move from the top of Bowen's reaction series, we see a gradual stabilization of the various Silicate tetrahedral orientations. These orientations include (in order of stability/complexity): [TOP OF REACTION SERIES] Individual (Singular form) Silicate Tetrahedra (i.e. Olivine) Chain (Linear form) Silicate Tetrahedra (i.e. Pyroxine) Double Chain (Bilinear form) Silicate Tetrahedra (i.e. amphibole) Sheet Silicate Tetrahedra ('2-D' form) (i.e. Mica: Biotite or Muscovite) Framework Silicate Tetrahedra ('3-D' form) (i.e. FELDSPAR) [BOTTOM OF REACTION SERIES]
What are the different types of form?
First normal form, second normal form, third normal form, fourth normal form, fifth normal form and Boyce Codd normal form. See the related question below.
How does one form form a scientific hypothesis?
by reviewing whats is already known
Information that is typically gathered on a form is?
specific to the purpose of the form
Does olivine form to anything when heated?
can heat form while heated
Does olivine rock form to become soil?
Sand is formed from the breakdown of rocks. If a rock contains large amounts of olivine, then when this rock weathers, olivine sand will be formed. There are beaches in New Zealand that are almost exclusively made of green olivine crystals.
What mineral tends to form first in bowen's series?
The mineral that tends to form first in Bowen's series is olivine. It forms at the highest temperatures as cooling magma undergoes fractional crystallization.
What minerals form the rock diorite?

What is an acapulcoite?
An acapulcoite is a form of achondrite mineral composed of olivine, orthopyroxene, plagioclase, and troilite.
How does Dunite form?
Dunite is an igneous rock composed primarily of olivine. It forms when magma solidifies deep within the Earth's mantle and contains a high percentage of olivine crystals. As the magma cools and crystallizes, olivine-rich dunite can be formed.
What is the cleave of olivine?
Olivine fractures.
