[Q]: Process: - A hurricane usually starts as an organized thunderstorm activity that stretches at least 100 miles across and maintains its identity for more than 24 hours - Under the right conditions it can develop further and start to spin around a low-pressure center - If it develops it's classified as a 'tropical cyclone' or 'tropical depression' - If the system strengthens and wind speeds rise past 39 mph, the system is dubbed a 'tropical storm' - If the pressure in the center drops even further and the winds really pick up and forms a clearly defined 'eye' it's a hurricane - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose erosion is speeded up happens, how will it affect an eye is developed. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]: no

[Q]: Process: - Batteries are put in a flashlight - The flashlight is turned on - Two contact strips touch one another - A circuit is completed between the batteries and the lamp - The lamp in the flashlight begins to glow - The reflector in the flashlight directs the lamp's beam - A straight beam of light is generated - The flashlight is turned off - The circuit is broken - The beam is no longer visible. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose batteries are replaced every six months happens, how will it affect the lamp will start to glow. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]: yes

[Q]: Process: - Food enters the small intestine - The small intestine produces hormones - The hormones cause the pancreas to produce enzymes for digestion - The enzymes travel from the pancreas to the small intestine through tubes - The enzymes help the intestines digest the food - The pancreas produces the hormones insuline and glucagon - The hormones control the amount of sugar in the blood. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose I have been sick happens, how will it affect the pancreas working HARDER. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]: yes

[Q]: Process: - Skin is cut or damaged - Bacteria enters through the wound - The bacteria reproduces and spreads - Causes symptoms - The bacteria is either fought off or becomes a disease. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more bacteria can reproduce happens, how will it affect LESS SEVERE disease occurring. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]:
yes
