Which outcome accelerated decomposition of the HMS Terror?

💡 Explanation

Galvanic corrosion accelerated because dissimilar metals in frigid seawater created electrochemical potential, therefore fasteners weakened and dissolved rather than remaining intact within the otherwise preserving, anaerobic environment beneath ice and silt buildup.
