Which process is accelerated on Inca agricultural terraces when canals overflow?

💡 Explanation

Increased hydrostatic pressure weakens the soil through increased pore water pressure ultimately causing reduction in shear strength; therefore catastrophic slope destabilization becomes highly likely rather than mineral deposition or faster nitrogen cycling.
