can anyone explain me the butterfly effect?
In: Physics
A butterfly is sitting on a leaf on a bush In California during the summer. The butterfly decides that it’s time to fly away from the bush, and flys off of the leaf. Flapping its wings to become airborne, the wind from its flapping blows off some dust off from the leaf, which then gets picked up by a smaller breeze that brings it up into the air and travels it further through the air. As the dust moves through the air, it picks up other gusts of air and makes it stronger as it travels and becomes one larger gust. After some time of this, the dust gusts becomes wind. That wind eventually gets strong enough that it actually (over simplified) pushes the clouds from the sky in California all the way over to Australia. By that time, the wind has gotten very strong, very strong and very fast. Effectively, when that wind gets strong enough, and that strong wind mixes with other rain clouds already I’m the sky, it becomes a hurricane.
