History

Which consequence occurred due to subsurface pressure shifts impacting Roman-era lead aqueducts?

A)Reduced water flow upstream
B)Increased calcium carbonate deposition
C)Pipe wall creep and fracture
D)Rapid biofilm accumulation internally

💡 Explanation

Pipe wall creep and fracture occurred through plastic deformation along pipe walls because ongoing overburden pressure increases tensile stress therefore leading to eventual structural failure rather than uniform deposition or altered biological conditions.
