← HistoryWhich outcome results when ancient Roman hypocaust systems directly underlie cultivation plots?
A)Soil erosion accelerates dramatically
B)Nutrient depletion is rapidly induced
C)Waterlogging risk is acutely elevated
D)Seed germination timing is altered✓
💡 Explanation
Hypocausts introduced geothermal gradients. This introduced thermal stratification, influencing growing conditions, because heat causes increased soil temperature at the roots; therefore seed germination timing changes, rather than excess erosion/depletion, which requires other forces.
