Which outcome occurs when seasonal ground freezing affects a Roman aqueduct?

💡 Explanation

Water expands upon freezing, therefore cryo-fracturing increases hydrostatic pressure because of a volumetric expansion causing material stress exceeding tensile strength, therefore cracking, rather than sedimentation, scaling or biological reasons.
