History

Which consequence arises when terrace construction fails in ancient chinampa maize agriculture?

A)Increased soil erosion and nutrient loss
B)Reduced water absorption and plant dehydration
C)Increased pest infestation and crop damage
D)Decreased sunlight exposure and stunted growth

💡 Explanation

Increased soil erosion occurs, because terrace construction prevents this via contour plowing, which would create gully erosion (downslope flow of water intensifies), therefore soil and nutrients wash away, rather than being retained for crops.
