Which risk increases when hygroscopic salts migrate within Byzantine mosaics?

💡 Explanation

Binding mortar delamination increases because CRYSTALLIZATION PRESSURE from salt expansion exceeds mortar tensile strength creating progressive failure. Therefore, it leads to mosaic detachment, rather than tesserae cracking which results primarily from thermal expansion coefficient mismatch alone.
