← HistoryWhich long-term consequence arose due to Incan terrace agriculture?
A)Increased regional microclimate stability✓
B)Depletion of soil nutrient reserves
C)Uncontrollable downslope erosion
D)Widespread vector-borne disease
💡 Explanation
Increased microclimate stability occurred because terracing employed radiative heat transfer management. Terraces capture insolation during the day. Soil warms slowly reducing frost risk, therefore microclimate stabilization occurred, rather than nutrient depletion, which farmers addressed with transport.
