Note
A plural for the countable side of a noun that is just as often uncountable. Use migrations for separate events you could count: the caribou's seasonal migrations, the mass migrations of history, a platform's successive moves into new environments. When you mean the process or phenomenon as a whole, the singular mass noun is the natural choice: migration as a subject of study rather than a series of journeys.
