← HistoryWhich risk increased within Mughal-era pietra dura artwork when installed outdoors?
A)Accelerated thermal stress cracking✓
B)Diminished pigment vibrancy acutely
C)Increased structural load stresses
D)Induced galvanic corrosion events
💡 Explanation
Increased exposure to solar radiation causes differential Expansion, thus increasing thermal stress cracking using the thermal expansion mechanism, because pietra dura's composite facets expanded at unmatched pace; therefore, cracking results to destroy its structure rather than preserving longevity.
