Which risk escalated atop Early Dynastic ziggurats of Mesopotamia when subjected to seasonal temperature variations?

💡 Explanation

Decreased structural capacity arises because thermal expansion mismatched between core and facing materials induced differential stresses exceeding the tensile strength; Expansion-Contraction Fatigue therefore compromised the envelope, rather than affecting contents, or any person.
