History

Which consequence occurred when Medieval European masons over-utilized 'chalkstone'?

A)Rapid structural pillar foundation subsidence
B)Accelerated widespread stone cathedral erosion
C)Decreased stained glass window stability
D)Reduced cathedral bell tower resonance

💡 Explanation

Cathedrals experienced heightened decay because carbonate dissolution occurs in 'chalkstone', a porous limestone, due to acid rain; therefore, the rapid chemical weathering from environmental factors caused damage, rather than foundation risks or window issues.
