Process: - Gases cause pressure beneath the earth - The gases come to a head and push molten magma to the surface - The magma cools - With enough time the pressure builds up greatly - The resulting volcano may explode. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose pressure is builds up in lava chamber happens, how will it affect there is no pressure in the lava chamber. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: yes

Process: - Fuel mixes with air - Mix gets inducted into cylinder - Piston compresses the mix - Spark plug emits a spark that ignites it causing combustion - Combustion gases expand - Pushes piston during power stroke - Exhaust valve opens to vent exhaust out tail pipe. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more enzymes need released happens, how will it affect LESS power being generated by the engine. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: no

Process: - People separate different materials to be recycled - The recyclable materials go to a recycling center - The recycling center further separates the materials - Large equipment compacts the materials into bales - The recyclable materials are shipped to other recycling centers - The other recycling centers further process the materials that center specializes in - The materials are purchased by manufacturers - The manufacturers process the recycled materials the same way they would use new materials - The recycled materials are incorporated into new products. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there are leaflets distributed happens, how will it affect people are more ignorant. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: yes

Process: - Food enters the body - Food begins to be processed by the digestive system - The pancreas releases enzymes to aid digestion - Digested food affects the amount of sugar in the blood - The pancreas releases one hormone to lower the blood sugar (glucose) level - The pancreas releases another hormone to raisethe blood sugar (glucose) level. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less food is available happens, how will it affect the pancreas working HARDER. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Ans: no
