History

Which 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.
