← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a condor encounters turbulence while soaring?
A)Raptor stalls and loses altitude
B)Feather adjusts laminar airflow locally✓
C)Asymmetric wing wear accelerates gradually
D)Air sacs optimize body temperature
💡 Explanation
Plumage adapts. The angle of individual feathers allows flow attachment to wing airfoil via boundary layer control, because microscopic barbs change airflow, therefore stalling is minimized rather than exaggerated turbulence across wing.
