Which consequence results when a wooden ship utilizes green (unseasoned) timber?

💡 Explanation

Hull planking distortion occurs because wood shrinks unevenly during the seasoning *MECHANISM*, leading to stress and warping; therefore, planks twist and deform rather than remain aligned, which reduces hydrodynamics, increasing drag.
