← GeographyWhich risk increases for unguided rockets launched near the subtropical jet stream?
A)Unpredictable trajectory and wide dispersion✓
B)Rapid structural icing and system failure
C)Atmospheric reentry exceeding design limits
D)Oxidizer depletion preventing proper combustion
💡 Explanation
Unguided rockets are highly susceptible to atmospheric effects; the Coriolis effect, intensified by the high-speed subtropical jet stream, causes significant trajectory deviations because this force deflects projectiles relative to the Earth's rotation, therefore resulting in dispersion rather than predictable paths.
