← HistoryWhich consequence results from a disrupted supply of key minerals during the Byzantine mosaic production?
A)Faster setting of glass tesserae
B)Decreased color saturation stability✓
C)Enhanced structural wall adhesion
D)Increased resistance to weathering effects
💡 Explanation
Decreased color saturation occurs because impurity minerals provide pigmentation; a scarce supply thus hinders pigment creation via solid-state diffusion, therefore colors quickly fade rather than maintaining richness with correct compositional control.
