Prolonged exposure to humidity risks which outcome concerning the pietra dura on Mughal monuments?

💡 Explanation

Differential expansion stresses interface adhesive bond; salt migration weakens bond, therefore pietra detaches from mechanical stress because adhesive shear strength diminishes with moisture, rather than intrinsic material oxidation occuring with direct air exposure at greater levels.
