the butterfly effect is the most famous example of chaos theory in action
one of the points about chaotic systems is the sensitivity to initial conditions - i.e. for a very small change at the beginning you end up somewhere completely different
another thing about chaos is there are patterns and ways of predicting some aspects of the system.
chaotic systems tend to be driven by an external force that keeps them from equilibrium e.g. weather, driven by solar heating
