History

Which consequence arises if mariners misinterpret the shadow cast latitude marker on a medieval Kamal?

A)Inaccurate celestial navigation results
B)Overestimation of stellar parallax occurs
C)Compromised magnetic compass deviation
D)Accelerated oxidation of brass scales

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate estimation of the Sun's angle occurs through PARALLAX ERROR because the alidade casts shadows incorrectly, therefore resulting in navigational drift, rather than any effect on compasses/parallax; and without chemical contact, no changes oxidation would happen.
