← Nature & AnimalsWhich crucial outcome occurs when a raptor's thermaling capability fails due to feather soiling?
A)Increased parasite load prevails instead
B)Significant soaring performance degradation arises✓
C)Enhanced camouflage becomes rather apparent
D)More efficient flight muscle engagement happens
💡 Explanation
Thermaling relies on generating lift with minimal drag via precise airfoil control using flight feathers; soiling disrupts feather interlocking because it interferes with the boundary layer airflow during soaring. Therefore, soaring performance decreases drastically, rather than improving predator avoidance or strength
