← GeographyWhich risk increases to aircraft engines when encountering volcanic tephra?
A)Compressor blade erosion accelerates rapidly✓
B)Fuel line freezing temperatures increase
C)Sensor malfunctions become probabilistically random
D)Radio communication jamming systematically increases
💡 Explanation
Increased compressor blade erosion occurs because thermal shock induces rapid abrasive wear from the ingested silicate particles via spalling, therefore engine efficiency drops; rather than other sensor/electrical malfunctions which is temperature, not composition, dependent.
