Which outcome occurred when groundwater encountered highly soluble gypsum during Roman aqueduct construction?

💡 Explanation

Dissolution-driven subsidence occurred because the groundwater dissolved the gypsum, triggering the chemical weathering mechanism; therefore, sinkholes formed, rather than improved water flow, due to structural collapse and material removal by the water.
