← ScienceWhich mechanism causes increased tidal stress on celestial bodies near a black hole?
A)Spacetime curvature becomes more extreme✓
B)Event horizon radius undergoes quantum tunneling
C)Hawking radiation reduces body's mass
D)Frame-dragging reverses rotational direction
💡 Explanation
Extreme spacetime curvature near a black hole induces large tidal stresses because of gravitational gradients across the body. This is tidal disruption, therefore the observed tidal stress increases, rather than other horizon or emission effects dominate.
