Remember this!
Roadroller and steamroller are both heavy vehicles used for flattening surfaces. However, the difference between them lies in their power source, function, design, usage, and connotation. Roadrollers are powered by diesel engines and are used for compacting and smoothing surfaces in preparation for road or pavement laying. On the other hand, steamrollers use steam power and are used for crushing and flattening objects or obstacles in their path.
