History

Which benefit results when the Aztecs constructed chinampas in shallow lake beds?

A)Year-round crop production despite frosts
B)Reduced soil erosion from heavy rainfall
C)Enhanced biodiversity through habitat creation
D)Increased crop yields through natural irrigation

💡 Explanation

When chinampas were constructed, the capillary action of water table causes natural irrigation due to the proximity of the canals, increasing soil moisture levels. Therefore, increased crop yields result, rather than crop production during the cold, reducing erosion or enhancing biodiversity which require distinct, and often landscape-scale features.
