The butterfly effect is a hallmark of chaotic systems.Simple systems are described by linear equations in which, for example,increasing a cause pro­duces a proportional increase in an effect. In contrast,chaotic systems are described by nonlinear equations, which allow for subtlerand more intricate interactions.

Weather is nonlinear because a change in the wind speedin one location does not automatically produce a corresponding change inanother location. Many (but not all) nonlinear systems exhibit chaoticbehavior.
