Everyone has different names for the kind of play we just witnessed. My team calls it a Morganism. That's because one time last year, my friend Morgan jumped to make a catch, colided with another player, fell down, and still managed to snag the ball. 

Based on the paragraph, what is a Morganism?

"NASA Measures Death of Glaciers"

In 1850, Glacier National Park had 150 living glaciers - that's six times more than it has now. Since at least that time, glaciers there have been declining. But 50 years ago, the rate of decline jumped and the number of glaciers in the park took a nosedive. The situation has become increasingly bleak with time. The snow is melting faster, forcing bears and birds to adapt to new food patterns. Less snow through July and August means warmer waters, which hurts endangered species like the bull trout and the meltwater stonefly.
