← ScienceWhich consequence results when the gravitational field near Europa concentrates orbital curvature?
A)Tidal heating within Europa intensifies✓
B)Orbital velocity of Europa declines
C)Atmospheric escape rate noticeably decreases
D)Surface ice becomes more crystalline
💡 Explanation
Tidal heating intensifies because enhanced curvature increases the gravitational gradient during Europa's orbit, which leads to stronger tidal forces. Therefore, more internal friction occurs within Europa, rather than orbital changes or reduced atmosphere loss.
