Which consequence resulted when Inca agricultural terraces exceeded wall stability limits?

💡 Explanation

Complete Inca terraces suffered collapse due to exceeding structural capacity; the mechanism is slope instability. This causes landslides because the angle of repose was decreased, therefore destabilizing upper terraces, rather than simply reducing soil fertility.
