Which outcome results from temperature fluctuations affecting a marine chronometer's balance spring?

💡 Explanation

Temperature variations expand/contract balance springs using thermal expansion, altering the isochronism crucial for accurate timekeeping, because the period changes. Therefore longitude calculation drifts, rather than precise altitude measurements which depends on the sight.
