Which outcome resulted when seasonal flooding affected the hydraulic gradient established in Aztec chinampa systems?

💡 Explanation

When flooding occurred, the upward capillary action transporting water and dissolved salts from the lower layers to the surface increased because the water table rose (capillary action), concentrating salts as water evaporated leading to soil salinization. Therefore, salinization resulted, rather than hybridization, runoff, or disrupted irrigation, which are consequences of different hydrological or agricultural disturbances.
