← HistoryWhich limitation increased during early medieval terrace farming?
A)Water availability for hillside irrigation✓
B)Soil salinity within ditch environments
C)Wind exposure hindering crop pollination
D)Pest susceptibility in dense monoculture
💡 Explanation
The risk of landslides increased when terrace farms expanded, because the increased saturation elevated pore water pressure. This leads to slope instability, therefore water availability becomes limited rather than improved soil conditions caused by terracing in other locations.
