River Orchy, Scotland, showing erosion potholes in bedrock
A shallow pit or other edged depression in a road's surface, especially when caused by erosion by weather or traffic.
Factors leading to pothole failure by fatigue in areas subject to freezing and thawing are: 1. Precipitation adds moisture to supporting soil structure. 2. Frost heaving can damage pavement. 3. Thawing can weaken soil structure. 4. Traffic can break the pavement.
