Which physical outcome resulted from the construction of chinampas by the Aztec civilization for intensive cultivation?

💡 Explanation

When chinampas were built in shallow lake beds for cultivation, nutrient-rich mud and decaying vegetation was dredged to create raised plots since the roots had immediate access to water, allowing for multiple harvests per year. Therefore, artificial fertile land was created, rather than blight, runoff, or salinization, due to water access and fertile soil.
