← HistoryWhich consequence results when a Roman road's camber erodes unevenly?
A)Increased water accumulation on surface✓
B)Reduced load-bearing capacity overall
C)Compacted aggregate increases road stability
D)Improved drainage near the roadbed
💡 Explanation
Uneven camber erosion causes water accumulation because the surface no longer effectively uses surface tension and gravity for runoff. Therefore, pooling occurs, rather than directed drainage, which accelerates material degradation and weakens the road.
