← HistoryWhich challenge emerged when constructing the terraces required for extensive Andean agriculture?
A)Diminished downstream water availability✓
B)Increased pathogen transmission to plants
C)Decreased soil bacterial nitrogen fixation
D)Amplified diurnal temperature swings
💡 Explanation
Downstream water diminished because terrace construction via hydraulic diversion decreased available river water. Decreased water flow altered the river's carrying capacity; therefore, less water reached communities further down the valley rather than causing thermal shifts.
