Which outcome occurs when the retaining wall of an Inca agricultural terrace experiences hydrostatic overload?

💡 Explanation

Hydrostatic overload causes retaining wall failure leading to potential soil erosion because the increased pore water pressure exceeds the wall's structural capacity, therefore slope destabilization occurs, rather than enhanced plant processes related to growth or nutrient retention.
