← HistoryWhich outcome accelerated when Chinampa agricultural systems experienced prolonged drought conditions impacting maize production near Tenochtitlan?
A)Increased soil salinization impacting yields✓
B)Decreased nutrient availability decreasing growth
C)Elevated groundwater tables causing waterlogging
D)Enhanced resistance to common maize pests
💡 Explanation
When drought affected Chinampas, capillary action increased bringing dissolved salts to surface because evaporation exceeded rainfall, leading to heightened soil salinity hindering maize growth. Therefore, increased soil salinization resulted, not decreased nutrients, waterlogging, or enhanced pest resistance, which depend on excess water.
