Process:  - Living organisms in the sea die - The matter forms on the sea floor - Layers of sediment form above the matter compressing it - After many years the matter is compressed and heated - The result is that crude oil forms.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose less organisms die happens, how will it affect LESS oil.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?

Answer: yes


Q: Process:  - Coal is heated in the boiler - The water tank over the boiler is heated - Creates steam - The steam is funneled to the piston - Piston uses the steam as energy - The piston causes the crankshaft to move.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose firefighters are unable to contain the forest fire happens, how will it affect LESS power produced by the steam engine.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
A: no


Question: Process:  - You plant vegetable seeds in the ground - You water the seeds - You wait for the seeds to sprout - You keep the area free of pests and weeds while the plants grow - You thin out the plants as they get bigger to give them space to grow - You remove the vegetables from the plants when they are ripe.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose some copper broke happens, how will it affect LESS vegetables.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
Answer: no


[Q]: Process:  - Thunderstorms form over the ocean - An area of low pressure causes rotation - Several thunderstorms come together around this area - The storm is fed by rising air from warm ocean water evaporating - When the wind speeds reach 74 mph the storm is considered a hurricane.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose Thunderstorms are going in opposite directions happens, how will it affect the winds speeds will be lower.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
****
[A]: yes


input: Please answer the following: 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 If more water filters into the rocks happens, how will it affect it takes longer for rocks to break down.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
++++++++++
output: yes


Process:  - Bread is exposed to the elements - Bread absorbs water from the air - Bread absorbs warmth from the air - Dust particles with mold spores fall on bread - Mold spores start to consume the bread for energy - Mold colonies grow until they are visible.  Perturbation hypothesis: suppose bread absorbs more moisture happens, how will it affect MORE mold forming on bread.  Does the supposed perturbation have an effect (direct or indirect) on the process?
