Process:  - Wind and water erode rocks - The wind and water pick up sediment that came off the rocks - Sediment is carried to an area by the wind, water, air, or ice - Sediment is deposited on the same spot many times - The sediment piles on top of other sediment for a long time - The sediment near the bottom is compressed by the weight of newer sediment - The sediment becomes sedimentary rock as it is pushed together by the heavy weight -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose Less rocks erode happens, how will it affect less rock is deposited.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Answer: yes


Q: Process:  - Water evaporates from the ground up to the sky - Water droplets are in clouds - The air gets cold - Water droplets turn into ice crystals - Ice crystals in clouds stick together and become snowflakes.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose Less ice crystals stick together happens, how will it affect MORE snow.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: yes


Question: Process:  - A bird lays eggs in a nest - The parent(s) incubate the eggs - The eggs hatch - The mother (and sometimes the father) bird take care of the baby birds - The baby birds grow up and get their flight feathers - The young birds learn to fly and leave the nest - The adult birds find mates and mate.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose Females will not hatch more chicks happens, how will it affect LESS birds.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: yes


[Q]: Process:  - People dig up coal from the ground - People burn coal for heat or electricity - Pollution from the coal goes into the sky - Coal pollution enters clouds - Clouds rain over an area - The polluted rain becomes acid rain.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose more coal is burned happens, how will it affect MORE acid rain.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]: yes


input: Please answer the following: Process:  - Waste products are deposited in the blood - Blood is carried to the kidneys through the renal arteries - The kidneys contain filters inside - The filters capture the waste products - The waste is combined with water to make urine - The urine leaves the kidney and is collected in the bladder - The cleaned blood is returned to the body.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose you eat less rich food happens, how will it affect MORE waste being removed from the body.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
++++++++++
output: yes


Process:  - People breathe and expel carbon dioxide - Engines produce carbon dioxide - Living things produce waste - Waste decomposes - Decomposition produces methane - Water evaporates - Water vapor joins the atmosphere - Carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane are greenhouse gases -   Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there is more sediment happens, how will it affect more carbon dioxide in environment.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
