Which consequence occurred when Inca terraces saturated intensely?

💡 Explanation

Excess saturation increases hydrostatic pressure within the terrace fill. This induced Shear failure leads to terrace collapse because strength is exceeded; therefore slope failure occurs rather than stable nutrient leaching or radiative effects impacting the crops.
