Which consequence results when incorrect positioning of Inca stone masonry?

A)Thermal expansion causes joint fractures
B)Liquefaction leads to structural collapse
C)Seismic resonance induces catastrophic failure
D)Capillary action degrades stone integrity

💡 Explanation

Seismic activity causes the risk of seismic resonance because improperly interlocked stones allow greater movement. This amplifies ground motion in a selective manner and can induce catastrophic failure, rather than thermal expansion's localized damage in joint material or simple uniform collapse.
