Cherniak (2010b) reviews diffusion in the accessory minerals zircon, monazite, apatite, and xenotime, phases important in geochronologic studies. Diffusion in other minerals, including carbonates, sulfide minerals, fluorite and diamond, is reviewed by Cherniak (2010c).
Dear Ken, The Major League Baseball regular season is 162 games. Thatâs almost twice as long as the NHL ice hockey and NBA basketball schedules. Itâs 10 times longer than the 16 game NFL football schedule.
There are 30 teams in Major League Baseball, 15 (an odd number) in each league. Baseball is different from the three other major North American sports for two reasons. First, it is the only sport in which each team plays six to seven games every week in sets of two, three or four-game series.
