← HistoryWhich consequence arises from incorrect travertine layering during Roman aqueduct construction?
A)Reduced aqueduct settling rate
B)Increased flow channel erosion✓
C)Decreased structural seismic resilience
D)Improved thermal regulation stability
💡 Explanation
Increased flow channel erosion occurs because incorrect layering causes weakened areas leading to abrasive wear. The mechanism is differential weathering, therefore this outcome is selected rather than structural failure because the material weakens over extended water exposure.
