← HistoryWhich consequence resulted when the canals feeding Aztec chinampa fields experienced silt accumulation?
A)Reduced land available for cultivation✓
B)Increased incidence of nitrogen fixation
C)Enhanced evaporative cooling locally
D)Decreased soil salinity near roots
💡 Explanation
Sedimentation decreased navigable area; less chinampa construction occurred because the sedimentation decreased the total potential farming soil. Canal capacity decreased, rather than enabling greater crop production/nitrification: therefore area usable was affected rather than evaporation enhancement.
