← HistoryWhich outcome results if Byzantine mosaics experienced sulfation?
A)Tesserae detach due to increased volume✓
B)Improved reflection ensures lasting luster
C)Color brilliance intensifies uniformly overall
D)Gold adheres more strongly to substrate
💡 Explanation
Tesserae detach because sulfation, the reaction of sulfates with lime-based mortar, causes expansive crystallization. This expansive CRYSTALLIZATION disrupts the mosaic structure; therefore detachment occurs rather than enhanced adhesion or unaltered structural integrity.
