Question: Problem: Process:  - A large rocky area is formed - The rocky area has a higher elevation than the surrounding areas - Water from precipitation falls in the area - The water forms a stream - The stream flows towards lower elevation - The stream becomes a river - The river continues to flow along the same path for a long time - The river erodes the rocky area that it touches - The eroded area cuts deeply into the rock.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose smaller river erodes the rock happens, how will it affect LESS or SMALLER valleys being formed.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A: yes


Problem: Given the question: Process:  - Ocean waves hit land - Ocean water pulls sand off of beaches - Ocean water breaks rocks off of cliffs - Ocean water carries sand and rocks into the ocean - Sand and rocks go to other land or the bottom of the ocean.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less cloud are formed because there is less water evaporation happens, how will it affect more sand and rocks carried into ocean.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

The answer is:
no


input question: Process:  - Suns heat enters atmosphere - Green house gases enter from the earth - Heat is trapped in atmosphere - Different things on earth are hotter - The overall planet is hotter.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the body isn't processing water happens, how will it affect LESS global warming.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process????
output answer: no


Process:  - Food is taken into the mouth - The food is chewed - Saliva mixes with the food and starts breaking it down - The chewed food travels down the esophagus to the stomach - The stomach secretes acid - Grinds and mixes the food - The food moves to the small intestine - The small intestine uses enzymes to further break down the food - The food passes into the colon - The food is expelled from the body.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose people start to die happens, how will it affect stomach is infected by acidic type bacteria.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Answer: no


Q: Process:  - The organism must die to begin the process - The soft tissue decomposes - The bones are left behind - Scavengers tear the body apart and move the bones elsewhere - Wind and rain also scatter the bones further - The bones left behind will weather and become buried by sand and soil - The proteins in the bone are replaced with minerals that are dissolved in the soil - This creates a rock-like substance called a fossil - Water and wind erosion wear away the layers of soil on top of the fossil - This makes discovery of the fossil possible.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose animals eat more of the bones happens, how will it affect less bones being left behind.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes


[Q]: Process:  - Water comes through a filter - The filter has small pores to catch pollutants - The filter will catch chlorine, heavy metals, and other chemicals - The filter allows water and mineral ions like fluoride to pass through - The water on the other side of the filter is much cleaner -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose safer environment for mother to protect eggs happens, how will it affect HELPING the water purifier to work better.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
