Process: - Bread is exposed to the elements - Bread absorbs water from the air - Bread absorbs warmth from the air - Dust particles with mold spores fall on bread - Mold spores start to consume the bread for energy - Mold colonies grow until they are visible. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more pollution in the environment happens, how will it affect Bread is exposed to the air. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Answer: no

Q: Process: - There is a lot of rain or a dam breaks - Water levels of a river or lake get higher - Water builds up on the ground - Water covers streets - Water gets deep in some places - Water goes into houses and other buildings - The rain stops or the dam is repaired - Water flows into streams - The rest of the floodwater evaporates. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the world climate changes happens, how will it affect MORE EXTENSIVE flooding. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Question: Process: - The salt water is heated - As the saltwater is heated the water becomes a gas - The salt particles sink to the bottom of the container - Gaseous water is piped into another container - Allowed to cool - The salt particles are left behind in the first container - The second container contains fresh water. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose a person is a heavy smoker happens, how will it affect the salt water is heated very slowly. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: no

[Q]: Process: - Sunlight shines on plants - Cells with chlorophyll in them capture the light energy - Plants absorb carbon dioxide through their stoma - Plants absorb water through their roots and other parts of themselves - Plants absorb minerals through their roots - Plants convert these inputs into sugars - Sugars can be used as energy sources - Oxygen and water are also produced - Excess water and oxygen are released through stoma and other parts of the plant. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the plant is in direct sunlight happens, how will it affect LESS sugar and oxygen being produced. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]: yes

input: Please answer the following: Process: - Acid rain leaches aluminum from clay particles in soil - Aluminum flows into streams and lakes - Acid rain dissolves minerals and nutrients in soil - Washes them away so plants can't benefit from them - PH in soil and water gets affected which can kill plants and animals - Acid rain in fog at higher elevations can strip foliage off trees. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more acid dissolves minerals happens, how will it affect more animals are killed. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
++++++++++
output: yes

Process: - Coal is burned in a boiler - Steam is produced under pressure - Flows into a turbine - The turbine spins - Creates electricity. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the pressure is lower happens, how will it affect more steam is produced. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
