Which consequence results when terrace agriculture drains excessively?

💡 Explanation

Decreased slope stability increases landslide risk because excessive drainage reduces soil cohesion via effective stress principle, which raises pore pressure. A landslide risk arises therefore, rather than nutrient stratification which would not directly destabilize the slope in terrace.
