← HistoryWhich consequence followed when medieval aqueduct sedimentation increased?
A)Water flow decreased significantly.✓
B)Increased structural support was needed.
C)Material dissolution rate heightened.
D)Downstream water pressure stabilized.
💡 Explanation
Reduced flow occurred because increased sedimentation narrowed the channel via deposition, limiting the volume of water being conveyed, an example of Bernoulli's principle. Increased support would mitigate fracture rather than blockage, therefore sedimentation reduces flow rate.
