History

Which risk increased for a completed ziggurat if its clay brick construction lacked sufficient baking?

A)Accelerated aeolian erosion of surfaces
B)Increased alkali-silica reaction expansion
C)Reduced liquefaction during seismic events
D)Minimized thermal expansion fracturing cycles

💡 Explanation

Insufficiently baked bricks promoted faster erosion via salt weathering because weak clay destabilized via haloclasty, therefore the structure deteriorated at a dramatic pace, rather than benefiting from the brick’s inherent resilience.
