History

Which consequence occurs when moisture permeates a Mughal garden's sandstone featuring pietra dura?

A)Glycolysis of binder weakens tesserae
B)Oxidative dissolution degrades metal supports
C)Differential expansion fractures inlay
D)Resonance frequency shifts in earthquake

💡 Explanation

Differential expansion between the sandstone and pietra dura inlay leads to fracturing because each material possesses different coefficients of thermal expansion; therefore, cyclical moisture and temperature changes cause stress and cracking, rather than resonance shifts or binder degradation.
