← HistoryWhich limit increased pressure to develop chinampa agriculture?
A)Rising lake water salinity
B)Available wild game density
C)Natural soil nutrient depletion✓
D)Suitable hillside gradient for terraces
💡 Explanation
Chinampa agriculture addressed limited arable land and soil fertility; natural soil exhaustion from intensive maize cultivation increased the need for sustainable artificial islands, because otherwise productivity declined, therefore chinampas supplanted natural soil patches, rather than dealing with water salinity or terrace angles.
