Which consequence accelerated the detachment of pietra from Mughal monuments?

💡 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.
