angle: The space (usually measured in degrees) between two intersecting lines or surfaces at or close to the point where they meet.
behavior: The way something, often a person or other organism, acts towards others, or conducts itself.
chaos: A situation that is confused and has no order. (in physics) A situation where the behaviors of a system appear random and unpredictable. Chaos arises because the system is exquisitely sensitive to even small changes in the conditions that define it.
chaos theory: A field of research in math and physics that studies the patterns of dynamic — or chaotic — systems to better understand and predict their behavior. These patterns emerge from a relationship between these systems and related facets of math known as “strange attractors.”
climate: The weather conditions that typically exist in one area, in general, or over a long period.
data: Facts and/or statistics collected together for analysis but not necessarily organized in a way that gives them meaning. For digital information (the type stored by computers), those data typically are numbers stored in a binary code, portrayed as strings of zeros and ones.
field: An area of study, as in: Her field of research is biology. Also a term to describe a real-world environment in which some research is conducted, such as at sea, in a forest, on a mountaintop or on a city street. It is the opposite of an artificial setting, such as a research laboratory.
mass: A number that shows how much an object resists speeding up and slowing down — basically a measure of how much matter that object is made from.
meteorologist: Someone who studies weather and climate events.
random: Something that occurs haphazardly or without reason, based on no intention or purpose. Or an adjective that describes some thing that found itself selected for no particular reason, or even chaotically.
strange attractor: (in math) The equation or fractals that can be used to describe a complex behavior and trends…
