← HistoryWhich outcome arises when Inca terracing destabilizes slopes?
A)Increased anaerobic soil microbial activity
B)Exacerbated freeze-thaw weathering cycle
C)Triggering catastrophic rotational landslides✓
D)Enhanced wind erosion through channeling
💡 Explanation
Rotational landslides occur because *increased soil saturation* reduces shear strength within the terrace fill, therefore overall slope stability declines triggering slides, rather than just surface erosion or altered soil chemistry.
