← HistoryWhich long-term consequence resulted from thermal expansion mismatches Byzantine glass mosaics?
A)Tesserae spalling occurs consistently✓
B)Grouts experience accelerated dissolution
C)Substrate cracking propagates rapidly
D)Limebloom efflorescence gets eliminated
💡 Explanation
Differential thermal expansion causes tesserae spalling from mosaics because the glass and substrate expand and contract at different rates leading to stresses exceeding adhesion forces, therefore, debonding happens, rather than grout issues or accelerated substrate damage
