Which risk increases for Mughal-era pietra dura inlay exposed outdoors at increasing altitude?

💡 Explanation

Increased altitude entails larger temperature gradients, therefore greater differential thermal expansion occurs between the inlay and the base stone; because disparate materials expand at varying rates there’s more interfacial stress, rather than simple oxidation or deposits.
