Please answer this: Process:  - Wind or water breaks small pieces off of a rock - The wind or water deposits tiny rocks - The rocks become known as sediment - The layers of sediment are pressed together by other layers of sediment on top - Minerals from the rocks in the sediment dissolve - Minerals glue the sediment together into a single rock.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose water breaks apart rocks happens, how will it affect smaller rocks moving around.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Answer: yes


Please answer this: Process:  - Your thermostat senses that the room temperature has fallen below your thermostat setting - Your thermostat sends a signal to your heating system to provide heat for your home - When your oil burner is engaged, heating oil travels from the tank to the burner by way of a pump - Here the oil becomes a fine mist mixed with air - The fuel/air mixture is then injected into the burner where it is ignited in the combustion chamber - The warm air is disbursed through vents, hot water through baseboards, or by steam radiators -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose "Its a warm winter" happens, how will it affect Less oil becomes a fine mist mixed with air.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
