← HistoryWhich consequence results when terrace walls experience basal over-saturation?
A)Slope stability decreases substantially✓
B)Water infiltration uniformly increases
C)Nutrient runoff gets chemically suppressed
D)Eutrophication risk becomes substantially reduced
💡 Explanation
Reduced effective stress causes slope instability because water reduces the frictional strength of the soil, making failure more likely; therefore, wall cohesion decreases, rather than the wall undergoing uniform infiltration increases, runoff/eutrophication being dramatically affected under the specified condition.
