Process: - Sediment transport is the movement of solid particles (sediment) - The movement is due to a combination of gravity acting on the sediment, and/or the movement of the fluid in which the sediment is entrained - Sediment transport occurs in natural systems where the particles are clastic rocks (sand, gravel, boulders, etc.), mud, or clay - The fluid is air, water, or ice - And the force of gravity acts to move the particles along the sloping surface on which they are resting - Sediment transport due to fluid motion occurs in rivers, oceans, lakes, seas, and other bodies of water due to currents and tides - Transport is also caused by glaciers as they flow - Question: suppose more sediment moved by fluid motion happens, how will it affect LESS sediment being transported. How does the supposed perturbation influence the second effect mentioned. Answer by more, less or no effect
Ans: less

Process: - Someone is infected with bacteria - That bacteria begins to grow and reproduce inside the cells - The dividing bacteria begin to make toxins - Those toxins damage your cells - Disease symptoms may begin. Question: suppose more obstructions present happens, how will it affect the infected bacteria spreads to a person. How does the supposed perturbation influence the second effect mentioned. Answer by more, less or no effect
Ans: no effect

Process: - A dam is built in an area prone to flooding - A large amount of rain occurs - The water builds up behind the dam - The dam opens its floodgates when it starts to get full - The water flows into a river below the dam - The dam closes its gates - The dam will occasionally open its gates again to gradually release more water - Eventually all of the floodwater will be slowly released into the river without causing any flood damage. Question: suppose there is more rain happens, how will it affect DEGRADED safety from flooding. How does the supposed perturbation influence the second effect mentioned. Answer by more, less or no effect
Ans: less

Process: - Solution caves are formed in limestone and similar rocks by the action of water - After a rain, water seeps into cracks and pores of soil and rock - The water percolates beneath the land surface - Some of the water reaches a zone where all the cracks and pores in the rock are already filled with water - Rainwater absorbs some carbon dioxide as it passes through the atmosphere and even more as it drains through soil and decaying vegetation - The water combines chemically with the carbon dioxide - A weak carbonic acid solution is formed - This acid slowly dissolves calcite, forms solution cavities, and excavates passageways - Question: suppose there is more rain that fall happens, how will it affect LESS salt being removed from the water. How does the supposed perturbation influence the second effect mentioned. Answer by more, less or no effect
Ans: less
