← HistoryWhich outcome resulted when astrolabe engravings deviated irregularly?
A)Inaccurate time and direction findings✓
B)Component dislocation and structural failure
C)Oxydation risks to base materials
D)Unanticipated mechanical stress distribution
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate engravings introduce errors via angular misalignments during sightings; this directly distorts projected celestial relationships, because inaccurate angles yield incorrect time or direction values. Therefore, the astrolabe becomes unreliable for calculation rather than failing structurally or chemically.
