user: Problem: Given the question: Process:  - Put the aluminum can into a recycle bin - The cans are transported to a facility - The cans are shredded by a machine - The cans are heated to 1400 degrees to melt them - The molten metal is poured into molds - The molds are flattened and rolled into sheets to reuse.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the facility acquires more shredding machines happens, how will it affect MORE aluminum cans being recycled.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

The answer is:
yes


input question: Process:  - When water freezes it becomes 10% bigger, or takes up 10% more space - As water expands it puts great pressure on the walls of anything containing it, including any rocks which happen to be surrounding it - The force of the pressure exerted on the rock surrounding it is enough to wedge the walls of the crack farther apart, thus expanding and deepening the crack - Clay expends when wet like ice does - This causes rock to break apart - Some plants like mosses and lichens are capable of growing without soil on bare rock - When they do this their roots penetrate pores and crevices and cause rocks to split apart as the roots force their way down through the rocks -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose increased automobile use happens, how will it affect LESS or SLOWER erosion of rocks.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process????
output answer: no


Process:  - Fault lines appear underground - The fault lines grow over time - The rocks on each side of the fault lines rub against the rocks on the other side of the fault line - The rocks put pressure on each other - The rocks break from the pressure - The breaking of the rocks releases a lot of energy - The energy causes seismic waves - The seismic waves make the earth shake.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose a smaller red giant is formed happens, how will it affect MORE/STRONGER earthquakes.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
----
Answer: no


Q: Process:  - Contact is made with a virus - The virus enters the human or animal body - The virus goes to the part of the body that contains its food - The virus consumes part of the body or materials that the body uses - The virus replicates and spreads - The virus causes symptoms in the body as the immune system tries to expel the virus.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the virus is in a person that is stronger happens, how will it affect virus replicates and spreads slower.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes


Question: Process:  - A virus enters a host body - The virus has receptors that lock onto a target cell - The virus enters the cell - The virus uses the cell like a factory to make new copies of the virus - The new copies of the virus leave the cell - Infect other cells - The host gets sick as its cells are damaged.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less virus copies made happens, how will it affect a GREATER spread of the virus.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: yes


Please answer this: Process:  - Rock begins as magma from a volcano - The magma cools - Crystals form and the magma become igneous rocks - The igneous rocks break down into sediment - Become sedimentary rocks - If subjected to heat and/or pressure from plate-tectonic activity the sedimentary rocks become metamorphic rock - The metamorphic rocks melt - Become magma again.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more magma cools happens, how will it affect MORE igneous rock forming.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
