Which outcome undermines long-term Inca stone wall stability?

💡 Explanation

Thermal expansion fractures the precisely cut stones during freeze-thaw cycles; this is frost weathering. Because the ashlars lose frictional interlock due to the expansion, it reduces structural integrity, therefore causing the wall to weaken over decades, rather than remaining stable.
