Which consequence arises when terrace irrigation systems in the Andes face prolonged drought?

💡 Explanation

Increased soil saturation leads to slope instability because the Hydrostatic pressure increases, triggering rapid downslope displacement of the now saturated soil, therefore topsoil erodes at faster rate, rather than terraces remaining stable.
