What often causes pothpoles in streets?
Potholes are holes created in the road due to various stresses. On tar roads, the tar can expand and contract considerably during the summer and the winter. As a result of this constant contraction and expansion, parts of the road can erode away. During the winter, ice can also form in the pores in the tar road and the freezing of the ice expands the road slightly. Over days, weeks, and months of exposure to such stresses, tar roads break away at weak points and form potholes. Continued driving and application of the weight of multiple cars and trucks can also facilitate the road's destruction. The same can occur on concrete roads, although not as often as on tar roads.
