← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a soaring albatross encounters sharp thermal gradients?
A)Increased lift, decreased stall risk
B)Reduced drag, altered wing shape
C)Disrupted airflow, increased turbulence✓
D)Energy saving, reduced wing flapping
💡 Explanation
Turbulence increases in thermal gradients because differential air velocities induce local pressure variations, triggering flow separation, therefore disrupting airflow, rather than improving lift, because laminar airflow is fundamental to efficient soaring.
