Which consequence weakens mosaics resisting environmental thermal shock?

💡 Explanation

Differential thermal volume expansion weakens mosaics exposed to temperature fluctuations because each material expands differently, introducing stresses at interfaces, therefore grout cracking rather than uniform expansion occurs because different properties exist.
