Which adaptive outcome results when Andean terraced fields experience intense rainfall?

💡 Explanation

Terraces reduce nutrient run-off because step-like structures slow water flow and sediment transport via the deposition mechanism. Therefore more nutrients are retained within each level, rather than eroding and depleting field fertility.
