History

Which risk increased during winter in Mughal gardens incorporating pietra dura?

A)Oxidation of metal fasteners accelerates.
B)Differential thermal expansion damages inlay.
C)Erosion from increased surface runoff.
D)Dust accumulation on sensitive stone.

💡 Explanation

Differential thermal expansion occurs because temperature changes cause varied material expansion/contraction of the dura, subsequently fracturing the delicate stone rather than uniform stress distribution; therefore, damage increases in winter because thermal stress amplitudes rise.
