Which outcome results when the integrity of a terrace wall in the Andes fails during heavy rains?

💡 Explanation

Increased downslope soil erosion occurs due to structural failure initiating the downslope movement of soil; this slope instability exemplifies MASS WASTING because the wall no longer supports the soil mass adequately, therefore erosion increases, rather than retaining the terrace.
