Document Summary
System : a set of components that function and interact in some regular and theoretically understandable manner. Take for example the relationship between climate change and water cycles as well as carbon cycles. It is important to study these relationships in order to better understand the impacts these processes changes. Flows throughputs: within the system at certain rates. Models are representations, simplifications, or simulations of the real world and are useful in helping us describe and understand the workings and interactions of complex systems. Mathematical model: consist of one or more equations used to describe or predict the behaviour of a system. Actions that take place in a system lead to another actions. Sometimes this action can be negative or positive ( can either reduce or worsen the changes) Positive feedback: causes a system to change further in the same direction.
