← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when diurnal temperature swings vary widely in historic Mughal garden water systems?
A)Increased differential spalling risk✓
B)Uniform alga growth enhancement
C)Decreased evaporative cooling efficiency
D)Elevated system hydrostatic pressure
💡 Explanation
Increased freeze-thaw cycles drive surface degradation because water expands upon freezing, leading to cyclical stress and differential spalling; therefore, erosion occurs at an increased rate rather than uniform plant growth or reduced evaporative cooling.
