    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_effect

    fault tree. A cascade effect is an inevitable and sometimes unforeseen chain of events due to an act affecting a system. [1] If there is a possibility that the cascade effect will have a negative impact on the system, it is possible to analyze the effects with a consequence / impact analysis.

    The study demonstrated that the process differed from micrometeoroid collisions, with large chunks of debris created which would become collision threats. [4] In 1991, Kessler published "Collisional cascading: The limits of population growth in low Earth orbit" [14] with the best data then available. Citing the USAF conclusions about creation ...

  5. Cascading failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascading_failure

    Cascading failure is a common effect seen in high voltage systems, where a single point of failure (SPF) on a fully loaded or slightly overloaded system results in a sudden spike across all nodes of the system. This surge current can induce the already overloaded nodes into failure, setting off more overloads and thereby taking down the entire ...

  6. Cascade effect (ecology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_effect_(ecology)

    An ecological cascade effect is a series of secondary extinctions that are triggered by the primary extinction of a key species in an ecosystem.Secondary extinctions are likely to occur when the threatened species are: dependent on a few specific food sources, mutualistic (dependent on the key species in some way), or forced to coexist with an invasive species that is introduced to the ecosystem.

    Crossing a threshold in one part of the climate system may trigger another tipping element to tip into a new state. Such sequences of thresholds are called cascading tipping points, an example of a domino effect. [11] Ice loss in West Antarctica and Greenland will significantly alter ocean circulation.

    The study didn't specify which GLP-1 medications were included in the research, but "it is reasonable to assume that semaglutide was among them," Novo Nordisk said in a statement.

  9. Trophic cascade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trophic_cascade

    For example, it can be important for understanding the knock-on effects of removing top predators from food webs, as humans have done in many places through hunting and fishing. A top-down cascade is a trophic cascade where the top consumer/predator controls the primary consumer population. In turn, the primary producer population thrives.
