Which outcome resulted when the Roman-era Antikythera mechanism corroded in seawater?

💡 Explanation

The Antikythera mechanism suffered loss of function because marine immersion caused galvanic corrosion, leading to oxide buildup that increased the static friction between cog teeth. Therefore, motion became impossible rather than reversible changes because the mechanism created extensive material interlock.
