Which outcome resulted when Inca terracing exceeded stable angle?

💡 Explanation

Terrace over-steepening produced wall over-stress because cohesion limits were surpassed under load, therefore mass wasting by soil slip occurred rather than improved farming; deeper terraces exceed wall strengths at steeper angles.
