← HistoryWhich outcome arises when the pressure of pre-Roman Greek fire underwater is increased past designed tolerances?
A)Increased range of projectile spread
B)Erratic flame and uncontrolled fuel release✓
C)Substrate cools during rapid ascent
D)Enhanced material bonding to the hull
💡 Explanation
An uncontrolled burst happens because increased hydrostatic pressure during underwater combustion exceeds its material constraints, triggering an Abrupt Vessel Rupture; therefore there's erratic flame, rather than range improvements or substrate cooling.
