Which outcome emerged as excessive terrace construction during pre-Columbian maize cultivation altered watershed dynamics?

💡 Explanation

Increased sediment emerged because erosion accelerated via increased runoff: soil detachment exceeds holding capacity, therefore sediment outflow increases, rather than sediment deposition reduction or improved hillslope stability.
