← HistoryWhich risk increases for terraced cropland lacking drainage channels?
A)Increased hillside soil saturation✓
B)Accelerated soil nutrient depletion
C)Reduced thermal energy absorption
D)Inhibited symbiotic microorganism activity
💡 Explanation
Saturation increases because terracing disrupts natural drainage patterns, and water accumulates due to impeded vertical infiltration or lateral runoff, exacerbating Hydrostatic pressure; therefore, saturation increases occur, rather than soil depletion from erosion given flat terraces.
