  2. Dynamo theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo_theory

    The dynamo theory describes the process through which a rotating, convecting, and electrically conducting fluid can maintain a magnetic field over astronomical time scales. A dynamo is thought to be the source of the Earth's magnetic field and the magnetic fields of Mercury and the Jovian planets.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grasshopper

    Some exceptions include the chameleon grasshopper (Kosciuscola tristis), where males may fight on top of ovipositing females; engaging in leg grappling, biting, kicking and mounting. [42] The newly emerged female grasshopper has a preoviposition period of a week or two while she increases in weight and her eggs mature.

  4. Hemolymph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolymph

    A grasshopper has an open circulatory system, where hemolymph moves through interconnected sinuses or hemocoels, spaces surrounding the organs. Above is a diagram of an open circulatory system. An open circulatory system is made up of a heart, vessels, and hemolymph.

    Let H = {h 1, h 2, ..., h k} be the convex hull of P; then the farthest-point Voronoi diagram is a subdivision of the plane into k cells, one for each point in H, with the property that a point q lies in the cell corresponding to a site h i if and only if d(q, h i) > d(q, p j) for each p j ∈ S with h i ≠ p j, where d(p, q) is the Euclidean ...

    The list of organisms by chromosome count describes ploidy or numbers of chromosomes in the cells of various plants, animals, protists, and other living organisms.This number, along with the visual appearance of the chromosome, is known as the karyotype, [1] [2] [3] and can be found by looking at the chromosomes through a microscope.

  9. Global distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_distillation

    Global distillation or the Grasshopper effect is the geochemical process by which certain chemicals, most notably persistent organic pollutants (POPs), are vaporized and transported from warmer to colder regions of the Earth, particularly the poles and mountain tops, where they condense.
