Question: Process: - Waves hit the coast - Waves have energy that pushes the water and sediment - The sediment can help erode land like sandpaper - Water washes the sediment back - Some sediment is left as sand. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose person eats less food happens, how will it affect MORE erosion by the ocean. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: no

[Q]: Process: - Wind and water erode rocks - The wind and water pick up sediment that came off the rocks - Sediment is carried to an area by the wind, water, air, or ice - Sediment is deposited on the same spot many times - The sediment piles on top of other sediment for a long time - The sediment near the bottom is compressed by the weight of newer sediment - The sediment becomes sedimentary rock as it is pushed together by the heavy weight - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more sediment moved by water happens, how will it affect MORE sedimentary rock forming. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

[A]: no

input: Please answer the following: Process: - People breathe and expel carbon dioxide - Engines produce carbon dioxide - Living things produce waste - Waste decomposes - Decomposition produces methane - Water evaporates - Water vapor joins the atmosphere - Carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane are greenhouse gases - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more engines produce carbon dioxide happens, how will it affect more carbon dioxide in environment. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
++++++++++
output: yes

Please answer this: Process: - A bird picks a spot high spot, often in a tree - The bird collects bits of sticks and grass - The sticks and grasses are placed between support branches - Leaves, mud and spider webs are added to the sticks - The mud, leaves and webs glue the sticks together - The solid nest supports the eggs - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the oven is old happens, how will it affect LESS or SMALLER nests. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Answer: no

Problem: Process: - Plates on the Earth's crust move slowly past each other - As the plates move, they exert a great force - When the force is large enough, the crust breaks - The stress is released as energy - The energy moves through the Earth in the form of waves - We feel the earthquake - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose "the crust hasnt been moved" happens, how will it affect MORE or STRONGER earthquakes. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A: yes

input: Please answer the following: 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 there will be less water for the plant happens, how will it affect MORE forest formation. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
