← HistoryWhich effect results when excessive hydrostatic pressure exceeded mortar strength during Inca stonework construction?
A)Progressive material joint displacement✓
B)Increased seismic structure stability
C)Enhanced thermal regulatory capacity
D)Improved long-range visual alignment
💡 Explanation
Progressive material joint displacement occurred because hydrostatic pressure forced water into mortar, initiating creep, rather than creating seismic stability. Dispersed load caused material fatigue; therefore, the structure gradually deformed rather than maintaining original specifications.
