← HistoryWhich outcome follows when Roman siege mining undermines a castle wall?
A)Localized sinkage above the tunnel✓
B)Sudden, catastrophic global wall collapse
C)Resonance fracturing the entire structure
D)Controlled fracturing follows designed scoring
💡 Explanation
Localized sinkage is expected when siege mining removes the weight-bearing earth beneath. Uneven stress distribution leads to subsidence because soil Compaction occurs where the void was, therefore differential settlement weakens the structure locally, rather than total rapid collapse or resonance.
