← ScienceWhich distortion arises when large subterranean masses curve spacetime?
A)Changes in atomic decay rates✓
B)Increased crustal plate velocities
C)Elevated geothermal gradient spikes
D)Stronger near-surface air convection
💡 Explanation
Changes in gravity cause changes to relativistic time dilation via spacetime curvature because time slows near massive objects, affecting all processes, including atomic decay; therefore decay rates shift, rather than plate-speed increases caused by convection.
