Which failure mode accelerates within Mughal pietra dura inlay when subjected to fluctuating humidity?

💡 Explanation

Increased and fluctuating humidity levels accelerate adhesive bond degradation failure mode because differential thermal expansion between the marble and inlays causes cyclic stresses on the glue/cement. Therefore, the adhesive weakens, rather than oxidation increasing, which is less sensitive to cycling.
