History

Which outcome results when differential thermal expansion affects iron ship components?

A)Increased hull plate corrosion rate
B)Compromised structural integrity is observed
C)Higher sailing speed, lower drag
D)Changes in magnetic compass heading

💡 Explanation

Compromised structural integrity emerges because thermal expansion applies **mechanical stress**, exceeding material limits at connection points. Because joints weaken therefore structure integrity suffers, rather than just corrosion or speed changes which rely on distinct mechanisms.
