QUESTION

Chaotic systems are in a constant state of change. This degree or scope of change that can occur has been described as the butterfly effect. The butterfly effect refers to:

a. a minor change in input can create a major change in output, or a major change in input can result in minor changes in output.
b. a major change in input will create a major change in output, and a minor change in input will create minor changes in output.
c. a minor change in input can create a minor change in output; however, a major change in input will result in minor changes in output.
d. a minor change in input may create a major change in output; however, a major change in input will create a major change in output.

ANSWER:

ANS: A
Chaotic systems are dynamic systems with reiterative feedback loops. A minor change in input can create a major change in output. This is often described as the butterfly effect. A butterfly’s flapping wings in California can over time become a hurricane in New York.
