Magmatic differentiation (also known as fractional crystallization) during cooling leads to the formation of more Felsic magma because Mafic minerals crystallize at higher temperatures.

Tabular plutons that are injected between two parallel rock units along the contact are called concordant TRUE

Explanation:

A) felsic, mafic

Bowen determined that the specific minerals formed at the specific temperatures as the magma cools. At higher temperatures associated to mafic and intermediate magmas and finally during during the felsic is formed

A) True

In geology a sill is the tabular sheet intrusion which is introduced between the old layers of the sedimentary rock beds of the volcanic lava, or even long the direction of foliation of metamorphic rock.
