Which consequence arises on pre-Columbian agricultural terraces when rainfall intensity surpasses the infiltration capacity?

💡 Explanation

Increased surface runoff and erosion are caused by surpassing infiltration limits; backflooding of sediment occurs because saturation enables suspended particles to flow, therefore soil erodes rather than being retained, while structural damages are less relevant under short overflow periods.
