Question
History

For ancient Inca terraced agriculture practiced at high altitude, which consequence arises under conditions where internal hydrostatic pressure dramatically increases?

A)Terrace wall structural destabilization occurs
B)Reduced evapotranspiration leading to waterlog
C)Soil microbial activity sharply increases
D)Faster crop maturation cycles result

💡 Explanation

Increased hydrostatic pressure within a terrace's structure leads to terrace wall structural destabilization because `lateral earth pressure` overcomes the retaining wall's resistance; therefore, wall failure occurs rather than improved soil conditions or crop acceleration.
