← HistoryWhich outcome limits pre-Columbian Andean terrace soil stabilization?
A)Topsoil nutrient leaching occurs rapidly✓
B)Oxidation accelerates metal tool corrosion
C)Alloy segregation increases tool brittleness
D)Volcanic eruptions altered terrace topography
💡 Explanation
Leaching is accelerated because water carries away vital nutrients. Therefore topsoil's fertility decreases, rather than physical tool degradation limiting factors in pre-Columbian agriculture, which relied heavily on careful soil management techniques that leaching undermines.
