Which risk increased for multi-arched Roman aqueducts when foundations experienced localized Quaternary glacial isostatic subsidence?

💡 Explanation

Keystone migration results from differential settlement displacing arch geometry, involving structural load redistribution. This instability overwhelms arch compression, because foundation shifts misalign force vectors; therefore keystone dislocation arises rather than effects purely based on chemical concentration or laminar flow changes.
