← HistoryWhich outcome occurred due to terrace bench settlement?
A)Deformed walls near Cusco✓
B)Enhanced water collection efficiency
C)Decreased root support for crops
D)Diverted Apurímac River valley drainage
💡 Explanation
Settlement causes slope deformation, inducing soil creep, because unbalanced forces accumulate; therefore, lateral pressures intensify against retaining walls, deforming them, rather than promoting direct root disruption or improved water channeling in an ancient Incan structural setting given the nature of terrace building's hillside modification.
