Which outcome accelerates soil erosion on ancient terrace farms when intense rainfall exceeds design capacity?

💡 Explanation

Terrace wall failure occurs because the hydrostatic pressure rises; if rainfall exceeds design capacity, pressure from saturated soil increases leading to structural overloading. This causes collapse, therefore erosion accelerates, due to missing support rather than just nutrient losses.
