Which consequence resulted, during ziggurat construction, from inadequate soil compaction?

💡 Explanation

Foundation subsidence follows a settlement pattern linked to ineffective historical compaction effort. Uneven weight distribution then causes structural failure because differential settlement leads to increased stress, therefore causes tilting, rather than other consequences under proper operation.
