History

Which outcome resulted when chinampa farming methods experienced prolonged drought conditions in Mesoamerica?

A)Increased soil salinity from evaporation
B)Enhanced crop yields from water stress
C)Reduced disease transmission via arid soil
D)Decreased erosion from lack of rainfall

💡 Explanation

When chinampa farming experienced drought, increased evaporation caused capillary action to draw salts from the subsoil to the surface, leading to increased soil salinity. Therefore increased soil salinity results, rather than boosted yields, reduced disease or decreased erosion, each requiring different environmental conditions.
