Which inaccuracy occurs when astrolabe plate alignment degrades?

A)Inaccurate celestial altitude calculations
B)Gear train jamming during operation
C)Oxydation of indexing pin material
D)Excessive plate warpage due to heating

💡 Explanation

Celestial altitude error emerges because plate misalignment disrupts stereographic projection, which compromises angular mappings; therefore altitude data becomes unreliable, rather than mechanical failures or warping due to external factors.
