Which risk increases when terraces experience significant land subsidence?

💡 Explanation

Land subsidence reduces the drainage slope in terraces; hydraulic head increases because the hydrostatic pressure becomes the dominant influence; therefore, the outcome is likely waterlogging rather than aeration, or improved downslope drainage.
