← HistoryWhich risk increases within hillside terrace construction when soil strata permeability varies?
A)Nutrient leaching decreases sharply
B)Erosion severity escalates extremely✓
C)Photosynthesis efficiency improves rapidly
D)Evapotranspiration rates stabilize constantly
💡 Explanation
Increased erosion occurs because internal water pressure varies within terraces causing differential pore water pressure. Water preferentially flows through the more permeable strata, increasing hydraulic stress. Therefore erosion increases rather than other outcomes such as nutrient stabilization.
