← ScienceWhich effect results when a hydrogen storage tank leaks?
A)Hydrogen embrittlement of surrounding metals✓
B)Ozone layer depletion increases significantly
C)Increased methane production accelerates locally
D)Carbon nanotube degradation from fullerene complexes
💡 Explanation
Hydrogen leaks cause embrittlement because hydrogen atoms diffuse into the metal lattice, accumulating at grain boundaries and weakening material; therefore, structural integrity diminishes, rather than ozone depletion or specific carbon nanotube failure pathways.
