Problem: Process: - A mine is excavated in the side of a mountain - Miners enter the mine - Miners remove the coal from the mine - The coal is placed into carts or on a conveyor belt - The coal is moved up to the surface - The coal is loaded onto a truck - The truck takes the coal to a power station. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose a power failure results in reduced heating. happens, how will it affect LESS coal arriving at the power station. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A: no

Problem: Given the question: Process: - The nuclei of some atoms have too few or too many neutrons - The atoms become unstable - The atoms split - In alpha decay, two protons and two neutrons are released from the atom - In beta decay, a neutron changes into a proton and an electron - The proton joins the nucleus of the atom - The electron is released - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose if the nuclei is altered happens, how will it affect The atoms will remain stable. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

The answer is:
yes

input question: Process: - The organism must die to begin the process - The soft tissue decomposes - The bones are left behind - Scavengers tear the body apart and move the bones elsewhere - Wind and rain also scatter the bones further - The bones left behind will weather and become buried by sand and soil - The proteins in the bone are replaced with minerals that are dissolved in the soil - This creates a rock-like substance called a fossil - Water and wind erosion wear away the layers of soil on top of the fossil - This makes discovery of the fossil possible. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there is more drought in the area happens, how will it affect LESS fossils forming. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process????
output answer: yes

Process: - The pancreas detects chemical changes in the stomach - The pancreas creates juices that help digest food - The pancreas releases the juices into the stomach - Trypsin and chymotrypsin digest protein - Insulin is produced to move glucose from the blood - The enzymes begin producing again. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose firefighters contain the fire quickly happens, how will it affect glucose is filtered from the blood. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Answer: no

Q: Process: - Some of the rock in the ground is made of limestone - Over long periods of time rain can hit the limestone - And cause a acidic reaction - The limestone will slowly disintegrate - A large gap with be where the limestone was - Result in the cave. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose much limestone has formed happens, how will it affect there is less limestone. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

[Q]: Process: - Grass and small plants grow in an area - These plants die - The soil gains organic material - The soil becomes more fertile - Larger plants are able to be supported - Trees eventually grow. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more magma erupts from volcano happens, how will it affect if the organic material is increased. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
