← HistoryWhich consequence arises when tesserae detach extensively due to prolonged temperature cycling in a Byzantine mosaic?
A)Decreased structural support integrity
B)Diminished aesthetic information fidelity✓
C)Compromised underlayment hydraulic conductivity
D)Enhanced surface thermal emissivity
💡 Explanation
Reduced aesthetic information appears because spallation causes loss of image detail through DIFFERENTIAL THERMAL EXPANSION between tesserae and the binding mortar. Therefore artistic intent degrades, rather than structural issues; conductivity relates to fluids. More surface emission wouldn't happen.
