History

Which consequence accelerated the detachment of pietra from Mughal monuments?

A)Efflorescence within the marble
B)Oxidation reactions in metallic pigments
C)Thermal expansion rate mismatches
D)Subsidence-induced structural stresses

💡 Explanation

Efflorescence caused detachment, because salt precipitation within marble pores induces crystal growth, exerting disruptive pressure, thus weakening the bond between the marble substrate and inlaid pietra; rather than oxidation or thermal stress alone causing such delamination.
