← HistoryWhich outcome results when the raised bed construction of Aztec chinampas fails during an exceptionally wet rainy season?
A)Accelerated soil nutrient leaching✓
B)Increased evapotranspiration rates
C)Enhanced nitrogen fixation by bacteria
D)Decreased soil salinity levels
💡 Explanation
Accelerated soil nutrient leaching occurs because saturation promotes the wash-out of soluble nutrients below the root zone, thereby reducing fertility of the raised beds, rather than the soil retaining nutrients during prolonged flood conditions.
