Which mechanical risk was amplified during ziggurat construction when using mud brick?

💡 Explanation

Differential settlement was amplified with mud brick because non-uniform load distribution caused uneven compaction therefore some sections subsided more, rather than uniform settlement that preserved structural integrity under pressure.
