Which issue becomes significantly elevated when Inca agricultural terraces face seismic events?

💡 Explanation

Terraces amplify seismic waves through soil layers, because geometric amplification concentrates energy, leading to soil liquefaction; therefore increased instability results directly, rather than evapotranspiration changes or nutrient loss effects.
