← HistoryWhich maintenance risk increased for Brunelleschi's dome because mortar recipes changed?
A)Structural fatigue and cracking failures
B)Foundation sink and shifting failures
C)Weather accelerated exterior wear✓
D)Seismic activity worsened collapse
💡 Explanation
Increased exposure to weathering resulted from changing mortar recipes lacking the original strength; therefore, the dome's exterior was susceptible to greater water penetration and erosion, rather than direct seismic or fatigue-driven collapse absent that weathering exposure.
