Which weathering outcome accelerates when acid rain compromises pietra dura's mortar?

💡 Explanation

Increased salt expansion risk increases inside pietra dura in Mughal architecture because mortar's chemical breakdown via hydrolysis accelerates salt’s crystallization due to rising porosity created by capillary action; therefore salt expansion, rather than embrittlement, dominates within altered microstructure.
