← HistoryWhich environmental risk increased in Post-Classic Mesoamerica due to intensive chinampa cultivation within limited lake systems?
A)Accumulation of toxic algae blooms✓
B)Increased volcanic eruption frequency
C)Depletion of atmospheric ozone layer
D)Decreasing magnetic field intensity
💡 Explanation
When intensive chinampa cultivation occurs within limited lake systems, nutrient runoff increases because fertilizer use concentrates, promoting eutrophication and algal blooms. Therefore, toxic algae bloom accumulation results, rather than increased volcanism, ozone depletion, or magnetic intensity changes which are driven by unrelated geological or atmospheric processes.
