← HistoryWhich risk increases when markings fade on astrolabe?
A)Increased stochastic measurement errors✓
B)Misalignment of gear ratios
C)Elevated thermal stress fracturing
D)Diminished corrosive resistance
💡 Explanation
Faded markings cause greater interpolation error because accurate angular measurement relies on precise scale readings using vernier acuity by a human. Therefore, stochastic error grows, rather than mechanical or material outcomes tied to the astrolabe's function.
