← HistoryWhich outcome results when ziggurat foundation experiences subsidence?
A)Compaction induced differential settling occurs✓
B)Increased thermal loading risk arises
C)Decreased wind load stability happens
D)Accelerated bronze rusting begins inland
💡 Explanation
Differential settling causes structural cracking because non-uniform soil compaction and Consolidation affects load bearing unevenly leading to instability; therefore, asymmetric cracks appear, rather than remaining structurally sound or affecting unrelated erosion or corrosion rates elsewhere.
