← Nature & AnimalsWhich mechanism optimizes soaring flight in vultures encountering upward air currents?
A)Transition to dynamic soaring exploiting shear
B)Adjusting wing camber increases upward lift✓
C)Minimizing induced drag reduces descent
D)Synchronized feather locking stabilizes airflow
💡 Explanation
When a vulture encounters an upward air current, adjusting wing camber increases upward lift because increasing the wing's curvature changes the pressure difference. Therefore adjusting wing camber results, rather than dynamic soaring, minimizing drag, or feather locking all of which serve other flight adaptations.
