History

Which consequence arises when repeated astrolabe plate swaps compromise alignment?

A)Increased frame resonance frequencies
B)Declination errors in altitude readings
C)Accelerated gear train corrosion
D)Thermally-induced material phase transitions

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate altitude readings occur because plate misalignment introduces parallax error during observations, using the parallax MECHANISM. These errors propagate to angular measures; therefore, declination readings stray away from accurate values rather than other structural degradation processes.
