History

Which 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.
