← HistoryIn Mughal garden fountains, which outcome results when diurnal temperature variation reduces static head?
A)Reduced geyser fountain height✓
B)Localized subsurface soil liquefaction
C)Increased algae concentration appears
D)Pietra dura inlay color changes
💡 Explanation
Fountain height decreases when water temperature increases because thermal expansion reduces water density and hydraulic head, affecting hydrostatic pressure; therefore, geyser fountains will be shorter due to lower water pressure, rather than other garden elements responding as directly.
