History

Which outcome occurred when limited volcanic rock was available preventing effective ancient terrace agriculture in Hawai'i?

A)Increased slope instability events
B)Decreased soil nutrient retention
C)Accelerated water runoff erosion
D)Greater dependence on rainfall

💡 Explanation

Decreased volcanic rock amendment limited nutrient input; the cation exchange capacity via weathering of available rock was reduced, and therefore nutrient retention decreased, weakening the agricultural yields; rather than leading to slope instability or runoff changes.
