During naval sieges of Constantinople, which outcome resulted when Greek Fire encounters a water stream?

💡 Explanation

The initial interaction retards the flame using evaporative cooling, because the water absorbs heat, thereby triggering a heat transfer mechanism causing temporary reduction of the flame. Therefore, the fire continues to propagate rather than being fully extinguished, because boiling point elevation is involved.
