Which structural risk accelerated deterioration if winter salt infiltrated Byzantine mosaic bedding?

💡 Explanation

Mosaic damage intensified when freeze-thaw cycles caused hydrostatic pressure expansion of trapped salt solutions within the bedding material, because ice formation resulted in higher localized pressures that exceed bonding strength; therefore causing detachment, rather than sublimation causing similar effects at lower temperatures.
