Which consequence occurred within Inca stone masonry when earthquakes induced structural movement?

A)Mortar joints suddenly catastrophically failed
B)Individual stones negligibly shifted slightly
C)Thermal expansion cracked exterior facing
D)Internal stone fracturing induced material degradation

💡 Explanation

Movement caused adjusted positioning because Inca masonry used ASHLAR (cut stones fit closely). The lack of mortar allowed stones to shift and resettle during stress, therefore minimizing overall damage rather than causing catastrophic fracturing.
