Which consequence arises from prolonged high humidity within a Byzantine mosaic?

💡 Explanation

Efflorescence occurs because soluble salts migrate to the surface, then crystallize as humidity changes; the crystallization creates pressure within the mosaic interface, weakening tessera adhesion; therefore, tesserae detach, rather than inherent structural vulnerabilities causing cracking or decomposition.
