History

Which outcome results when pre-Columbian andean terrace walls experienced increased toe stress?

A)Mass wasting downslope increases
B)Decreased albedo limits altitude
C)Crop nutrient concentration increases
D)Improved water drainage stabilizes plants

💡 Explanation

Increased toe stress on terrace walls induces slope instability leading to downslope creep, because the excessive load exceeds the soil shear strength, therefore earth slumping/creep accelerates, rather than increased altitude albedo, fertilizer, or drainage.
