Which statement best describes why the bridge buckles when there isn’t a joint?

• Temperature causes expansion and contraction of the roadway, which is limited without a joint.

• The metal in the joint is not affected by temperature, so without it bridges buckle

• The material of the roadway doesn’t expand under temperature

• Joints increase the strength of the roadway to prevent the weight of cars and trucks from causing the bridge to buckle.
