← HistoryWhich irrigation-related consequence arose when Tenochtitlan's *chinampas* exceeded optimal density?
A)Nutrient depletion slowed maize growth✓
B)Reduced humidity affected nearby harvests
C)Increased waterborne disease propagation
D)Decreased night-time temperature stability
💡 Explanation
Decreased spacing caused `nutrient competition` because the soil fertility was finite; therefore maize yields declined, rather than excess moisture, because humidity changes or waterborne vectors are less direct yield limiters than nutrient limitation.
