← HistoryWhich challenge did Incan engineers overcome using sophisticated stone masonry adaptation?
A)Preventing seismic shifts collapse✓
B)Minimizing thermal expansion cracking
C)Reducing river erosion foundations
D)Mitigating wind load instability
💡 Explanation
Incan masonry used interlocking stones to achieve seismic resistance, because this allowed relative movement during earthquakes, therefore collapse was avoided rather than rigid cracking from thermal stress or wind loading.
