Which limitation constrained Mesopotamian bronze tools subjected to repeated earth tilling in arid soil?

💡 Explanation

With repeated tilling, the arid soil draws out alloying elements from the bronze because electrochemical corrosion occurs leading to localized depletion and the formation of corrosion products altering structural integrity. Therefore accelerated corrosion results, rather than grain growth, precipitate formation, or thermal cracking which require different material failure mechanisms and environmental conditions.
