← HistoryWhich consequence arises from over-intensive usage of chinampas?
A)Rapid soil nutrient depletion appears✓
B)Increased susceptibility to wind erosion
C)Decreased surface water evaporation rates
D)Higher resistance to disease spread
💡 Explanation
Over-intensive farming of chinampas leads to exhaustion of minerals because continuous cropping extracts nutrients faster than natural regeneration via decomposition (Mineralization). Therefore, soil becomes infertile, rather than resisting erosion or evaporation due to plant cover.
