History

Which consequence results when Greenlandic longships encountered ice?

A)Rope bridges limit hull stress
B)Rudder cavitation erodes control
C)Reduced cargo capacity per trip
D)Planking separation impairs buoyancy

💡 Explanation

Planking separation occurs because hydrodynamic pressures on the hull exceed fastening limits. This leads to impaired buoyancy, therefore sinking becomes a significant risk, rather than limitations to bridges or rudder issues that occur in different scenarios.
