← HistoryWhich Byzantine military outcome was enabled by siphon design improvements that enhanced Greek fire's projection range—particularly important during naval sieges?
A)Increased ship ramming capabilities
B)Improved stability during earthquakes
C)Enhanced long-range thermal attacks✓
D)Reduced catapult projectile damage
💡 Explanation
Enhanced siphon design utilized fluid dynamics optimizing pressure. This enabled longer range projection using pressurized ejection, therefore naval fireships increased their zone of impact, rather than relying on shorter ranged fires.
