Which outcome compromises crop production when terrace construction exceeds inherent limits?

💡 Explanation

Slope destabilization occurs because terrace overburden increases shear stress exceeding the geological shear strength; therefore, landslides cause terrace collapse, rather than optimized nutrient use, light, or waterway channel failures impacting yield.
