Which challenge occurred integrating early chronometers aboard wooden sailing ships due to variations in deck temperature?

💡 Explanation

When deck temperature fluctuated, thermal expansion/contraction occurred because the balance spring material changed dimensions, affecting its oscillation rate with temperature shift. Therefore altered the accurate rate determination results, rather than, magnetic interference, humidity, or saltwater influence which all require different environmental and physical stressors.
