Which risk rises when undermining siege tower foundations?

💡 Explanation

Progressive settlement leading to tilt occurs when soil is removed supporting the siege tower's foundation because the effective *center of gravity shift* causes increased stress on the remaining soil, therefore, tilting occurs and the whole system collapses, rather than even settlement on all points.
