Which outcome arises because of ground saturation accumulated outside a Roman fort during a prolonged siege?

💡 Explanation

Increased ground saturation compromises soil strength because water infiltration elevates pore pressure, facilitating soil deformation through liquefaction rather than retaining stability. Therefore, structural foundations become unstable; lowered ballista accuracy or greater pathogen presence remain unrelated.
