← HistoryWhich outcome follows diminished andean hillside terracing stability?
A)Uniform crop yield increase
B)Accelerated topsoil loss occurs✓
C)Enhanced water infiltration overall
D)Stable microclimate establishment happens
💡 Explanation
Accelerated topsoil loss results mostly from insufficient terracing to reduce runoff. The mechanism of action is soil erosion, because the terraces no longer effectively retain soil and water; therefore increased erosion, rather than enhanced yield or infiltration occurs.
