Please answer the following question: Process:  - The earth develops cracks deep beneath the surface - The cracks get very long and big in some places - The earth places pressure against the rocks on both sides of the cracks - The pressure causes the rocks to press against each other very hard - The cracks continue to develop - The earth moves against itself on both sides of the cracks - The pressure and movement around the cracks causes the rocks to crumble in some places - A lot of energy is released - The energy causes seismic waves - The seismic waves move the earth in an earthquake.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose a large earthquake happened recently happens, how will it affect MORE/STRONGER earthquakes.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer:
yes
