  2. Cascade effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_effect

    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 .

  3. 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 ...

  5. Kessler syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome

    The debris poses a substantial risk to low-Earth orbit constellations, particularly those orbiting below 800 kilometers, and may remain in orbit for years, increasing the likelihood of collisions. This incident highlights ongoing concerns about space debris and the increasing risk of a cascading effect as more objects are launched into orbit. [22]

  6. Trophic cascade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trophic_cascade

    Trophic cascades are powerful indirect interactions that can control entire ecosystems, occurring when a trophic level in a food web is suppressed. For example, a top-down cascade will occur if predators are effective enough in predation to reduce the abundance, or alter the behavior of their prey, thereby releasing the next lower trophic level from predation (or herbivory if the intermediate ...

  7. Electron avalanche - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_avalanche

    A plasma begins with a rare natural 'background' ionization event of a neutral air molecule, perhaps as the result of photoexcitation or background radiation.If this event occurs within an area that has a high potential gradient, the positively charged ion will be strongly attracted toward, or repelled away from, an electrode depending on its polarity, whereas the electron will be accelerated ...

  9. Intermediate disturbance hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_disturbance...

    An ideal examples of r-selected groups are algae. Based on the contradictory characteristics of both of these examples, areas of occasional disturbance allow both r and K species to benefit by residing in the same area. The ecological effect on species relationships is therefore supported by the intermediate disturbance hypothesis.
