← HistoryWhich outcome accompanies Inca terracing subjected differential settling?
A)Increased soil erosion and landslides✓
B)Enhanced water infiltration aquifer recharge
C)Uniform crop yield across elevation
D)Decreased slope stability, lower angle
💡 Explanation
Increased soil erosion will occur when terracing experiences differential settling because structural integrity weakens, increasing gravity driven soil movement rather than stable slopes. Therefore, soil flows and vegetation undermined rather than water control preserved.
