Which outcome occurred frequently due to early terrace farming?

💡 Explanation

Terraces, when overwhelmed or poorly maintained, led to increased erosion because downslope water and soil collected momentum, increasing sheer stress; therefore, erosion increased, rather than offering better water storage or modifying soil chemistry.

• Which consequence ultimately destabilized Inca retaining walls supporting terraces?
• Which risk increased in medieval siege warfare due to cast iron components in bombards?

• Which consequence occurred when impurities remained as ancient cast-crankshafts cooled?
• Which structural problem plagued Roman concrete fortifications exposed to seawater, starting ~2000 years ago?
• Which limitation decreased during medieval canal design, because of improved calculations using algebraic equations to address uneven terrain?
