Which environmental change within a Mesopotamian ziggurat dedicated to water management resulted from inhibited capillary action?

💡 Explanation

Elevated salt efflorescence increased because inhibited capillary action prevented water from evaporating, causing dissolved salts to deposit on the ziggurat’s surface due to evaporative salt crystallization; therefore, efflorescence increased, rather than expansion being minimized.
