What occurs when the load-bearing capacity of ancient terrace walls is exceeded?

💡 Explanation

Landslide or collapse arises from exceeding load, because exceeding it induces soil yielding via plastic deformation which initiates failures downslope; therefore, soil creep occurs downslope earlier, rather than altered tissues that require altered nutrients or radiation.
