← HistoryWhich outcome of soil subsidence occurs in historic chinampa agricultural systems?
A)Reduced water table recharge
B)Increased vulnerability to flooding✓
C)Decreased nutrient availability
D)Enhanced erosion from rainfall
💡 Explanation
Increased flooding occurs because subsidence lowers the chinampas in relation to lake levels, so the system's original flood management based on relative elevation degrades; therefore periodic inundation, rather than controlled irrigation, occurs, rather than simple erosion.
