← HistoryWhich outcome arises within Mughal pietra dura mosaics due to differential thermal expansion?
A)Inlay detachment from substrate occurs✓
B)Uniform color changes across inlays
C)Increased light refraction within stones
D)Accelerated algal growth on surfaces
💡 Explanation
In Mughal pietra dura, varying materials have different thermal expansion. Differential Thermal Expansion causes stress at the interface because the inlay material expands at a different rate than the substrate; therefore, the inlays detach, rather than the color simply changing uniformly.
