Which outcome arises when Inca agricultural terraces experience oversaturation?

💡 Explanation

Terrace oversaturation causes compaction, triggered by hydraulic loading, therefore destabilizing terrace walls. Because the mechanism is compaction, it damages long-term structural integrity, rather than improving drainage or fertility, which require porous and stable terracing.
