Which material degradation was enhanced surrounding high-altitude mosaic tesserae by intense light?

💡 Explanation

Thermal cycling, due to rapid heating and cooling, increased thermal stress and initiated thermal fatigue cracking in mosaics. This is because differential thermal expansion strained connections, therefore leading to cracking, rather than uniform corrosion.
