← HistoryWhich result manifested when the Anasazi used terraced farming in arid canyons?
A)Increased water infiltration of the soil✓
B)Higher organic material decomposition rate
C)Elevated evapotranspiration from crop surfaces
D)Reduced soil aggregate structural stability
💡 Explanation
Terraced farming introduced an increased surface area which improved rainwater capture; this used gravity to allow increased infiltration. Hence, moisture retention increased because it used physical diversion rather than impacting decomposition.
