Nonlocality is a distinctive feature of quantum theory, which has been extensively studied for decades. It is found that the uncertainty principle determines the nonlocality of quantum mechanics. Here we show that various degrees of nonlocalities in correlated system can be characterized by the generalized uncertainty principle, by which the complementarity is attributed to the mutual dependence of observables. Concrete examples for different kinds of nonclassical phenomena pertaining to different orders of dependence are presented. We obtain the third-order "skewness nonlocality" and find that the Bell nonlocality turns out to be merely the second-order "variance nonlocality" and the fourth-order dependence contains the commutator squares, which hence is related to the quantum contextuality. More applications of the generalized uncertainty principle are expected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
