Which navigational risk increases when geomagnetic orientation fails?

💡 Explanation

Failure of geomagnetic orientation impairs spatial awareness, therefore long-distance route fidelity suffers, because the animal cannot accurately integrate directional information using its magnetic compass. Disrupting migration patterns is the consequence, rather than alternative impacts on wind drift or circadian cycles.
