← HistoryWhich consequence results when terrace agriculture drains excessively?
A)Decreased slope stability increases landslide risk✓
B)Increased solute concentration impedes drainage tiles
C)Nutrient stratification causes decreased root growth
D)Compacted soils cause surface oxidation issues
💡 Explanation
Decreased slope stability increases landslide risk because excessive drainage reduces soil cohesion via effective stress principle, which raises pore pressure. A landslide risk arises therefore, rather than nutrient stratification which would not directly destabilize the slope in terrace.
