Problem: 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 the mother receives medical intrvention to prevent a miscarriage happens, how will it affect more rocks will clump up together.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A: no


Problem: Process:  - An animal eats a lot of food to fatten up - The animal finds or builds a suitable place to hibernate where they can stay warm and protected - The animal moves into their den - Their heart rate and breathing slow down to conserve energy - They emerge from the den when the weather is warming up again.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less conservation occurs happens, how will it affect The animal's heart rate and breathing do not slow down.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A: no


Problem: Process:  - A virus enters a host body - The virus has receptors that lock onto a target cell - The virus enters the cell - The virus uses the cell like a factory to make new copies of the virus - The new copies of the virus leave the cell - Infect other cells - The host gets sick as its cells are damaged.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there is more food for the butterflies happens, how will it affect More cells are targeted.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A: no


Problem: Process:  - Gases cause pressure beneath the earth - The gases come to a head and push molten magma to the surface - The magma cools - With enough time the pressure builds up greatly - The resulting volcano may explode.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose there is no magma being pushed happens, how will it affect "there is no agitation in the earths surface".  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

A:
yes
