HOW A POTHOLE IS BORN=(I) Rain, sleet or snow works
its way into the soil under thepavement. (2) When the tempera-
ture drops, the water freezes and expands. This pushes up the
soil and pavement. (3) As thawing occurs, the'water runs away
and the soil recedes, creating a hole under the pavement. (4) A
passing car or truck breaks the pavement, causing the familiar
pothole. Tires can be seriously damaged by striking a pothole.
