Which crop productivity risk arose for Incan terrace farms when intensive irrigation leached soil?

💡 Explanation

Incan irrigation systems often overwatered terraces, causing selective macronutrient depletion because the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium wash out, resulting in specific fertility loss rather than terrace failure; hence, 'C' is correct.

• On Incan construction projects at high altitudes, which informational risk increased if quipu were physically damaged?
• Which error is magnified when using an astrolabe with a small diameter to determine distant star azimuth?
• Which limiting condition increases risk when using Roman siege towers due to subsurface soil instability?
• Which consequence arises when repeated thermal cycling distorts an astrolabe's alidade?
• Increased torsional stress occurs within Viking longship hulls primarily through which mechanism?
• Which outcome results in astrolabe instrument error due to prolonged thermal exposure?
