← HistoryWhich outcome arises when terrace construction destabilizes mountainsides?
A)Increased slope failure risk✓
B)Decreased soil salinity levels
C)Enhanced biodiversity conservation
D)Reduced atmospheric carbon capture
💡 Explanation
Elevated stress from terrace construction generates higher potential energy, triggering increased downslope force, therefore the Gravitational sliding mechanism causes increased slope failure, a consequence rather than enhanced stability due to inadequate reinforcement.
