History

What environmental consequence resulted as terraced rice paddy construction expanded during the Cordillera Central era?

A)Increased downstream sediment deposition
B)Enhanced atmospheric carbon absorption
C)Reduced agricultural water consumption
D)Decreased incidence of landslides

💡 Explanation

Increased downstream sediment deposition happened when terraced rice paddies used erosion to flatten land. The terraces disrupted the natural water flow, forcing soil to erode, because Sediment Transport moved the dislodged soil particles downstream creating increased sediment, therefore affecting environments located downwards, rather than improving conditions.
