← ScienceWhich phenomenon causes increased clock rate at lower geopotential?
A)Gravitational time dilation✓
B)Special relativistic effects
C)Frame dragging perturbation
D)Cosmological constant expansion
💡 Explanation
Gravitational time dilation makes clocks run slower in stronger gravitational fields, because the principle of equivalence dictates gravity warps spacetime more near massive bodies; therefore clocks run faster as height decreases, rather than special relativity predominating.
