← HistoryWithin Mughal gardens, which outcome results when the subsurface brick and mortar conduits experience seasonal volumetric expansion?
A)Localized ground heaving occurs✓
B)Water table undergoes rapid depletion
C)Pietra dura inlay softens
D)Evaporation rate stabilizes rapidly
💡 Explanation
The seasonal temperature fluctuation causes Thermal Expansion which induces stresses concentrated at constraint points, because the conduits consist of different materials with differing expansion coefficients; therefore, 'ground heaving' is expected, rather than affecting water tables or pietra dura, which are indirectly associated.
