Which problem commonly arose when the Mexica people expanded terrace agriculture upon the chinampas?

💡 Explanation

Uneven subsidence became pronounced because the heterogeneous organic matter in the soil compressed as buildings were added without consistent consolidation. This varying compaction caused structural instability, therefore subsidence was the main issue rather than issues of water flow that may appear during a flood.
