Process:  - Water gets into cracks in rocks - The water freezes into ice - The cracks expand - Over time the rocks split - The rocks are now in smaller pieces.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the lung is not expanding happens, how will it affect fewer cracks expand.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Answer: no


Q: Process:  - Acid rain enters the atmosphere and lands - Makes water acidic - Kills fish - Kills the soils in trees - Leaves are also harmed.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more environmental regulations on pollution happens, how will it affect LESS damage by acid rain.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes


Question: Process:  - Water comes into contact with something made of iron - The water combines with carbon dioxide in the air to form carbonic acid - As the acid is formed, the iron starts to dissolve - Some of the water breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen - The free oxygen and dissolved iron bond together - They form iron oxide, which is rust -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less sugar is used happens, how will it affect MORE rust forming.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: no


[Q]: Process:  - Animals eat a lot during good (warm, clear) weather - Animals gain weight - The season changes to one with bad (cold, snowy) weather - Animals find a place to hibernate - Animals enter a type of &#x27;sleep&#x27; (hibernation) - Body processes slow down - The animal&#x27;s heart rate and breathing rate slow - The animal loses weight more slowly than usual - The animal is able to survive not eating or drinking without hurting itself -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the liver regulates blood clotting less often happens, how will it affect HURTING the animal to hibernate properly.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]: no


input: Please answer the following: Process:  - Coal is burned - Sulfur in the coal combines with oxygen to form sulfur oxides - The sulfur oxides are released into the atmosphere - The sulfides combine with oxygen in the atmosphere to form sulfur trioxide - The sulfur trioxide reacts with water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid, a very strong acid - The sulfuric acid makes the rain acidic -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more clean energy produced happens, how will it affect LESS acid rain.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
++++++++++
output: yes


Process:  - The blood sugar drops in a body - Cells in the pancrease release glucagon - The liver in response turns the glucagon into glucose - And releases it into the blood - The blood sugar levels are restored.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose a person eats sweeter food happens, how will it affect less glucose in blood.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
