During the building of Inca terrace farms, which risk increases when inadequate 'talud' construction occurs?

💡 Explanation

Slope instability risk increases because inadequate talud construction reduces COUNTER WEIGHT, thereby stressing the terrace walls; therefore collapsing, rather than maintaining stablity, because the retaining structure is weak.
