History

Which effect accompanies the Byzantine navy’s use of Greek Fire during a siege because pressurized launch caused a spread effect?

A)Accelerated structural timber weakening
B)Localized intense heat expansion
C)Reduced siege attacker visibility
D)Increased ship maneuverability needs

💡 Explanation

The intense burning of Greek Fire significantly weakens structural timber because oxidation reduces material strength faster. Therefore, accelerated structural timber weakening occurred rather than simple local expansion of unaffected siege structures.
