It is found that Lorenz systems can be unidirectionally coupled such that the
chaos expands from the drive system. This is true if the response system is not
chaotic, but admits a global attractor, an equilibrium or a cycle. The
extension of sensitivity and period-doubling cascade are theoretically proved,
and the appearance of cyclic chaos as well as intermittency in interconnected
Lorenz systems are demonstrated. A possible connection of our results with the
global weather unpredictability is provided.Comment: 32 pages, 13 figure
