Which consequence results when subsidence occurs unevenly beneath a ziggurat?

💡 Explanation

Uneven subsidence causes differential stress exceeding the compressive bearing strength within the mud brick due to differential settlement. This triggers facade spalling because the bricks fracture and displace, rather than uniform compression occurring. Therefore,localized cracking causes surface material to flake.
