← HistoryIn Mughal gardens, which outcome resulted if aqueduct blockage prevented even hydrostatic pressure for fountains using 'pietra dura' inlay?
A)Fountains created lower, erratic displays✓
B)Excessive flow erodes the inlay
C)Mineral leaching discolors pietra dura
D)Increased algae rapidly blocked flow
💡 Explanation
Lower fountain displays occurred because uneven hydrostatic pressure reduced water jet height via Bernoulli's principle; therefore, fountains stuttered rather than maintaining consistent streams, while erosion/chemical issues involved different failure modes.
