Which outcome occurs when thermal columns become weak during dynamic soaring attempts?

💡 Explanation

When thermal columns weaken, energy availability decreases because upward air currents diminish reducing lift generation, and birds use more energy actively flapping. Therefore flight efficiency decreases, rather than attack risk, heat stress or preening issues, as these relate to different environmental challenges.
