← HistoryWhich destabilizing outcome results when Inca terracing lacks sufficient hydrostatic pressure release?
A)Catastrophic slope destabilization occurs✓
B)Decreased soil nutrient transport
C)Reduced water table evaporation
D)Increased wind erosion potential
💡 Explanation
Slope failure occurs because increased pore water pressure within poorly drained terrace fill initiates soil liquefaction causing landslides; therefore, catastrophic slope destabilization results with this failure, rather than the soil nutrient or wind related issues.
