Radar chart is a graphical method of displaying multivariate data in the form of a two-dimensional chart of three or more quantitative and qualitative variables represented on axes starting from the same point, origin. 2, record 1, English, - spider%20chart

Usually, one rock is a standard type, e.g. a mid-oceanic-ridge basalt or a carbonaceous chondrite meteorite. Data for the test rock are "normalized" to the standard by dividing the abundance for each element by the abundance in the standard and plotting the quotient, usually in order of atomic number. Elements which have the same abundance in the test rock as in the standard yield a quotient of 1; if the two compositions were identical the plot would be a straight line through 1 on the y axis. Elements more abundant in the test rock yield numbers greater than 1; those less abundant yield numbers less than 1. By connecting the points plotted by a single line, a spidery diagram of peaks and troughs is obtained which illustrates immediately systematic differences in composition, e.g. relative enrichment in incompatible elements. 2, record 2, English, - spider%20diagram

Afin de mieux comprendre l’origine des différences entre MORBs [pour «Mid Oceanic Ridge Basalts»] et OIBs [pour «Oceanic Island Basalts»], on peut étudier les arachnogrammes comparés de ces deux types de basaltes. Dans les arachnogrammes, on représente certains éléments incompatibles par degré d’incompatibilité décroissante de la gauche vers la droite, chaque concentration étant normalisée au manteau primitif. L’étude de ces arachnogrammes ou spidergrams montrent que la dualité manteau supérieur-manteau inférieur ne suffit pas à expliquer la différence MORBs-OIBs. 4, record 2, French, - diagramme%20arachnide

En teoría económica, los ajustes sucesivos de precios que se producen para determinados productos agrícolas, como consecuencia de la variación de las cosechas y de las cotizaciones del mercado. Los precios altos resultado de una cosecha corta, al originar el impulso de mayor superficie de cultivo y dar lugar a una cosecha copiosa, acaban provocando una caída de precios; lo que a su vez incita a la contracción de la superficie, con su secuencia de precios altos; y vuelta a empezar. 2, record 3, Spanish, - teorema%20de%20la%20telara%C3%B1a
