Which risk increased during winter in Mughal gardens incorporating pietra dura?

💡 Explanation

Differential thermal expansion occurs because temperature changes cause varied material expansion/contraction of the dura, subsequently fracturing the delicate stone rather than uniform stress distribution; therefore, damage increases in winter because thermal stress amplitudes rise.
