History

Which degradation accelerates within Mughal pietra dura in fountains when subject to frequent wetting?

A)Differential salt crystallization pressure
B)Increased bioturbation from microorganisms
C)Accelerated thermal expansion mismatch
D)Localized galvanic corrosion activity

💡 Explanation

Saltwater intrusion increases because frequent saturation facilitates salt migration into pores; thus, differential salt crystallization pressure degrades the decorative inlay. This outcome occurs, rather than expansion mismatch concentrating stress at bonding interfaces under thermal variations.
