← HistoryWhich 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.
