Which risk increased at sea when a ship's chronometer malfunctioned from physical shock?

💡 Explanation

Erroneous time impacts celestial navigation because longitude calculation relies on accurate time; a ship's chronometer enabled mariners to measure longitude based on the time difference. Therefore, positional uncertainty grew, rather than reliance on ship speed or dead reckoning alone.
