Abstract

Wide application of events in geology closely approximating a diffusion process and in many cases also conforming to a model of a true diffusion process. Fick’s law, continuity equation continuous Markov process. Backward and forward equations of Kolmogorov. Ten partial models of diffusion processes, covering the most typical situations. Analysis of experimental data on the melting of quartz in the gabbronorite melt.
