Which consequence arises when humidity gradients stress layered 'pietra dura' inlays?

💡 Explanation

Differential thermal expansion of materials in 'pietra dura' causes shear stress; because each expands uniquely with temperature/humidity, the adhesive layer can fracture, therefore separation/delamination occurs, rather than chemical erosion which attacks uniformly.
