← HistoryWhich consequence accelerated the decline of Byzantine fire signals?
A)Smudge fires obscured mountain visibility✓
B)Dust storms extinguished hilltop pyres
C)Constantinople harbors intercepted signals
D)Saracen fleet used water cannons

Reduced visibility caused signal failure. Thermal stratification creates refractive bending within coastal air masses, compounding distortions because mirage makes distant signal fires appear fainter, therefore reliance diminished rather than maintaining through clearer atmospheric conditions.
