Please answer this: Process:  - Water seeps into rocks - The water freezes and thaws - Cracks form in the rocks - Cracks also form when rocks heat up - The rocks slowly break down.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the rock process takes longer to break happens, how will it affect MORE or FASTER weathering occurring.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Please answer this: Process:  - Minerals fill spaces between bits of sediment - The sediments become glued together - The glued together parts become hard like cement - The sediment becomes a big rock - The rocks erode slowly - The rocks come apart - The rocks become smaller rocks - The rocks continue to erode into smaller rocks - The process starts again.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose the sediments become cemented together happens, how will it affect MORE sedimentary rock forming.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
