Q: Process:  - Aluminium cans are put into a recycling bin - Aluminium cans are then collected and taken to a treatment plant - At the treatment plant the aluminium is sorted and cleaned - Readied for reprocessing - The aluminum cans go through a re-melt process - Turned into molten aluminium - The molten aluminum is made into large blocks called ingots - The ingots are sent to mills and are rolled out into thin sheets - The rolls are ready to be made into new aluminum products.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more aluminum cans are sorted and cleaned 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:  - A red giant burns mass - This mass creates high core temperatures - The mass decreases - The red giant can no longer fuse the carbon and oxygen in its center - The gravity of the star can no longer hold the outside layers - The layers break away - Only the inner core remains - This inner core is known as a white dwarf.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose part of the inner core melts happens, how will it affect the inner core will be smaller.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Q: Process:  - Magma rises through cracks in the Earth&#x27;s crust - The pressure causes plates to move - Magma explodes to the surface - The lava from the eruption cools to form new crust - After several eruptions, the rock builds up and a volcano forms -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose geologic conditions cause less magma to be formed happens, how will it affect MORE or GREATER eruptions.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes

Q: Process:  - You eat food - Your stomach digests the food - Sugars from food enter your bloodstream - Insulin helps turn sugars into energy - Insulin helps your body store the energy in fat, muscle and liver cells -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the local flora is destroyed happens, how will it affect food is consumed by a person.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A:
no
