Which outcome arises in historical pietra dura mosaics due to inconsistencies?

💡 Explanation

Differential thermal expansion causes varying expansion between the inlaid stone and the base material, initiating stress- Cracking is triggered within the mosaic because the materials expand unevenly, therefore leading to fractures rather than optical or acoustic effects.
