Q: Process: - The consumer throws aluminum cans and foil into a recycle bin - The aluminum is collected - Taken to a treatment plant - The aluminum is sorted and cleaned ready for reprocessing - The aluminum is re-melted - Turned into molten aluminum - The aluminum is made into large blocks called ingots - The ingots are sent to mills to be rolled out - The rolled out product is made into new aluminum products. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose The truck never picks up the recycling happens, how will it affect LESS aluminum cans being recycled. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Q: Process: - Acid rain makes waters acidic - Causes them to absorb aluminum from soil - The water runs off from the soil into lakes, streams, etc - Fish and their eggs die - Frogs and plants die - Insects and other wildlife die - The ecosystem is out of balance, causing further problems - Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the water collects more acid happens, how will it affect more damage by the acid rain. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Q: Process: - Humans are born as babies - Babies become infants - Infants become children - Children learn skills - Children become teenagers - Teenagers undergo puberty - Teenagers become adults - Adults have children - Adults become elderly - Elderly humans die. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose not enough time to raise children happens, how will it affect MORE babies. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Q: Process: - Water evaporates from the ground up to the sky - Water droplets are in clouds - The air gets cold - Water droplets turn into ice crystals - Ice crystals in clouds stick together and become snowflakes. Perturbation hypothesis: suppose More water droplets form happens, how will it affect LESS snow. Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A:
yes
