Which outcome resulted as ancient Chinese iron-hulled ships navigated colder northern waters?

💡 Explanation

Increased hull weld cracking risk developed because the ductile-brittle transition temperature causes material to become brittle below a certain cold temperature. Therefore, the cracking risk increased, rather than decreased biofouling because marine organisms thrive in varied temperatures.
