← HistoryWhich environmental benefit accrued when the chinampa cultivation system expanded in Tenochtitlan's construction?
A)Elevated humidity from evaporative transpiration✓
B)Reduced pest infestations within artificial islands
C)Increased dissolved oxygen in surrounding water
D)Decreased avian migration within island complex
💡 Explanation
When chinampas expanded, increased cultivation area meant greater evapotranspiration because plants draw up subsurface water and release it through their leaves, leading to increased local humidity. Therefore elevated humidity resulted, rather than pest reduction, increased dissolved oxygen, or decreased migration, which didn't rely on the transpiration process.
