Which consequence resulted when ancient terrace construction exceeded friction limits?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated topsoil erosion downhill arose due to exceeding terrace friction limits; the shear stress overcomes soil cohesion, creating landslides. This happens because gravitation pull outweighs terrace friction rather than stable soil structure, leading to significant material loss downhill.
