History

Which outcome occurred when high humidity affected astrolabes?

A)Corrosion obscured engraving visibility
B)Brass celestial component stiffened sharply
C)Aluminum rete fractured consistently
D)Silver plating suffered rapid oxidation

💡 Explanation

Corrosion obscures astrolabe engraving visibility because increased humidity accelerates galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals, therefore detail fades rather than stiffening, fracturing, or simple oxidation, which are due to other factors.
