← HistoryWhich outcome results when the Taj Mahal's reflecting pool experiences prolonged sediment accumulation?
A)Reduced evaporative cooling persists
B)Increased structural settling occurs
C)Inlet channel blockage accelerates✓
D)Pietra dura degradation accelerates
💡 Explanation
Channel blockage occurs due to silt particle settling out in slow flowing areas activating the **advection** process, creating deposition. Therefore inlet channel blockage accelerates, rather than slower flow alternatives, because sediment accumulates obstructing flow in the long canals.
