← HistoryWhich benefit primarily resulted from the development of chinampa agriculture by the Aztec civilization in Mesoamerica?
A)Increased resistance to widespread crop failure
B)Decreased dependence on seasonal rainfall patterns✓
C)Improved soil nutrient replenishment mechanisms
D)Expanded integration into long-distance trade networks
💡 Explanation
Chinampas, artificial islands built in shallow lake beds, allowed controlled irrigation because they directly accessed water through canals, lessening dependence on rain. Therefore it reduced rainfall dependence, not crop failure resistance, nutrient replenishment mechanisms or more trading relations, all of them based on other conditions.
