← HistoryWhich outcome occurred when medieval terrace farms lacked drainage?
A)Downhill aquifer oxygenation declines
B)Erosion rates accelerate rapidly✓
C)Soil nutrient runoff increases
D)Uphill land becomes too dry
💡 Explanation
Accelerated erosion results because water saturation decreased soil cohesion, triggering a Landslide mechanism. Therefore, unstable slopes collapse, rather than aquifer impacts, nutrient changes, or uphill aridity, which depend on other conditions.
