← HistoryWhich constraint limited maximum chinampa size by necessity for cultivation during the Aztec empire?
A)Distance from freshwater springs
B)Soil nutrient depletion rates
C)Walking distance for daily labor✓
D)Available reed and mud quantity
💡 Explanation
When plotting out chinampa fields, walking distance limited the size because manual labor of farmers and transportation determined yield, and prolonged transit reduced effective cultivation time. Therefore daily distance limited size, rather than freshwater access, depletion, or material as these were generally uniform across the lake region.
