Which environmental risk increased at Mesopotamian ziggurats possessing poorly maintained baked brick facades?

💡 Explanation

Increased facade erosion accelerates aeolian erosion because eroded mortar joints weaken brick cohesion until entire sections collapse; therefore, structural integrity decreases rather than improving solar gain, acoustics, or load distribution.
