← HistoryDuring extreme heat in Mughal gardens, which consequence affects delicately inlaid pietra dura?
A)Differential thermal expansion cracks emerge✓
B)Evaporative cooling prevents moisture
C)Albedo reduction mitigates damage
D)Capillary action transports disruptive salts
💡 Explanation
Differential thermal expansion emerges because various inlay materials expand at different rates when heated; therefore, tensile stresses develop more easily near bonding surfaces, causing cracks, rather than uniform expansion which has a minimal effect.
