Which consequence arose when the ancient Egyptians built pyramids faster using mud bricks instead of carefully shaped stones?

💡 Explanation

Increased deformation results, because creep, the material property dictates slow deformation under sustained stress became prominent, weakening mud brick pyramids. This settlement occurs sooner rather than later, because pressure overwhelms creep, and mud bricks lack the compressive strength like precisely-cut stone blocks and engage in viscoelastic behavior.
