← HistoryWhich outcome of uneven ground slippage occurs when Roman aqueduct foundations undergo micro-displacements?
A)Increased compressive arch stress✓
B)Reduced water flow velocity
C)Accelerated biological fouling rate
D)Declined citizen potable water access
💡 Explanation
Increased compressive arch stress develops because block cohesion declines, causing increased structural loading with arch deformation; therefore stresses concentrate; rather than reduced flow because minor slope is tolerated, and biology/access would be longer timescales.
