Problem: Process: - Thunderstorms form over the ocean - An area of low pressure causes rotation - Several thunderstorms come together around this area - The storm is fed by rising air from warm ocean water evaporating - When the wind speeds reach 74 mph the storm is considered a hurricane. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose If more air rises from warm oceans happens, how will it affect A smaller amount of water is evaporated. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A: yes

Problem: Process: - The gravity of the sun pulls its mass inward - There is a lot of pressure on the Sun - The pressure forces atoms of hydrogen to fuse together in nuclear reactions - The energy from the reactions gives off different kinds of light - The light travels to the Earth. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose "the Sun doesnt have more than normal amounts of solar flares" happens, how will it affect there will be less energy from the sun. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A: yes

Problem: Process: - Get an ice cube tray - Fill the tray with cool water - Place the tray in the freezer - Leave the tray in the freezer for a few hours - Take they tray out of the freezer - Pop the ice cubes out of tray. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose A person drinks beverages from cans and bottles happens, how will it affect Less trays are filled. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A: yes

Problem: Process: - Dead organic material accumulates on the bottom of oceans, riverbeds or swamps, mixing with mud and sand - Over time, more sediment piles on top - The resulting heat and pressure transforms the organic layer into a dark and waxy substance known as kerogen - Left alone, the kerogen molecules eventually crack - The molecules break up into shorter and lighter molecules composed almost solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms - It will turn into either petroleum or natural gas - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose mushrooms are larger and healthier happens, how will it affect there is less amount of sediment created. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A:
no
