Which outcome occurs when the Inca irrigation system's andenes terraces experience extreme rainfall followed by rapid freezing?

💡 Explanation

Crop yield variability increases due to freeze-thaw weathering, breaking terrace walls destabilizing the overall structure. Because differential soil expansion leads to erosion, therefore the land's support changes rather than simply changing hydraulic parameters; this leads to unreliable harvests.
