Which consequence resulted from thermal variation across tesserae during Byzantine mosaic aging?

💡 Explanation

Tesserae detachment occurs due to differential thermal expansion, a form of thermal stress leading to interface failure, because different materials expand/contract non-uniformly. Therefore, mosaic integrity is compromised, rather than the mosaic's flexibility increasing from tessera freedom.
