variation

As I went spelunking through the research literature, I found a huge variation in definitions.

Biological variation was celebrated in the pantheon of the gods.

At one point in this show, a variation of this happened, in succession.

Climate warming can be charted as a long-term rising trend with variation.

Papers and websites are filled with opinion pieces running some variation of the title “Who lost Iraq?”

Marked variation in the amount at successive examinations strongly suggests a neurosis.

The variation of the compass in this interval is scarcely affected by the ship's local attraction.

The variation in this interval is almost too trifling to be noticed for the purposes of common navigation.

There is never any great variation in the temperature, which is the natural consequence of the place being near the equator.
