Question: Using the geochemical data below, determine graphically if Rock 2 can be derived from Rock 1 by fractional crystallization of olivine. Suggestion: plot all oxides
- Using the geochemical data below, determine graphically if Rock 2 can be derived from Rock 1 by fractional crystallization of olivine.
Suggestion: plot all oxides vs SiO2 on the same plot, but divide all MgO values by 10 before plotting so everything fits on a y-axis scale from 0 to 16 wt.%

please explain how to do in excel and please only answer if you actually know the answer. This is repost because my last attempt was responded to with some unrelated nonsense. Thank you!
