← HistoryWhich primary issue was circumvented by Inca terrace farming in the Andes mountains?
A)Nutrient depletion from intense rainfall
B)Land access limitations and erosion✓
C)Seed germination rate during frosts
D)Water scarcity leading to drought condition
💡 Explanation
Inca terrace farming used stepped platforms on mountain slopes to create arable land, which minimizes soil erosion by using retaining walls. Therefore alleviating the combined issues of limited land access and unstable soil resulted, rather than addressing rainfall, germination or drought condition specifically.
