← HistoryWhich consequence arose when Inca terrace construction failed primarily due to saturated subsoil?
A)Increased sediment deposition downstream.✓
B)Enhanced albedo regulated temperature.
C)Increased atmospheric methane levels.
D)Improved nutrient distribution uphill slopes.
💡 Explanation
Increased sediment deposition occurred because saturated subsoil caused slope instability, triggering the mechanism of soil liquefaction causing landslides that released large amounts of sediment. Therefore, deposition increased rather than decreased nutrient loss through erosion.
