← HistoryWhich of these risks increased significantly as Mughal construction utilized thinner slices of marble within its pietra dura inlay?
A)Geometric distortions under heat stress✓
B)Faster deterioration due to hydrolysis
C)Decreased compressive load capacity
D)Increased susceptibility to seismic stress
💡 Explanation
The geometric distortions risk increases with thinner marble slices because thermal expansion causes bowing via differential expansion; this is thermal stress, therefore, thinner pieces are far more vulnerable rather than withstanding seismic stressors better.
