Q: Process: - A tree produces seeds - The seeds are dispersed by wind, animals, etc - The seeds reach the ground - Grow into new trees - These new trees produce seeds - The process repeats itself over and over - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the tree has a blight happens, how will it affect MORE forest formation. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Question: Process: - Living organisms in the sea die - The matter forms on the sea floor - Layers of sediment form above the matter compressing it - After many years the matter is compressed and heated - The result is that crude oil forms. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the body is healthy overall happens, how will it affect there will be more matter on the sea floor. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: no

[Q]: 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 a person has a poor immune system happens, how will it affect acid rain from the river, kill water life and plant life. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]: no

input: Please answer the following: Process: - Contact is made with a virus - The virus enters the human or animal body - The virus goes to the part of the body that contains its food - The virus consumes part of the body or materials that the body uses - The virus replicates and spreads - The virus causes symptoms in the body as the immune system tries to expel the virus. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose a person has a very strong immune system happens, how will it affect more virus enters the body. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
++++++++++
output: yes

Please answer this: Process: - Human beings burn fossil fuels (oil, gas, etc.) - Carbon dioxide from the burning fossil fuels enter the atmosphere - The make-up of the atmosphere changes - Some energy from the sun cannot escape back through the changed atmosphere - The earth begins to heat because of the extra trapped energy - Human beings cut down trees - Human beings do not re-plant the trees - Trees cannot help take the extra carbon dioxide from the atmosphere - The extra trapped energy starts to change the earth's short term weather - Eventually the long-term climate patterns start to change - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less fossil fuels are burned happens, how will it affect MORE global warming. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
++++++++
Answer: yes

Question: Process: - Magma rises through cracks in the Earth's crust - The pressure causes plates to move - Magma explodes to the surface - The lava from the eruption cools to form new crust - After several eruptions, the rock builds up and a volcano forms - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose people heat homes with wood or peat happens, how will it affect Less pressure causes plates to move less. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer:
no
