Which outcome most likely results when terrace construction destabilizes ancient Andean terrain?

💡 Explanation

Increased landslide risk follows loss of inherent strength, because reduction terrace mass alters the slope's angle of repose beyond stability limits, increasing downhill soil creep via basal sliding, therefore landslide is the most likely outcome rather than irrigation efficiency.
