Question 49 • GA-GSE World History

How did the Andean peoples influence Inca agriculture?

Answer
A
They taught the Inca how to farm in the desert using desert faming methods.
B
They provided the Inca with modern machinery to farm on flat land, not slopes.
C
They introduced the Inca to terrace farming, which helps stop soil from washing away.
D
They helped the Inca develop a system where no irrigation was needed for farming.

Explanation

Andean peoples developed terrace farming, shaping steep mountain slopes into flatter steps for planting. These terraces helped conserve soil by slowing runoff and reducing erosion, and the Incas adopted this useful agricultural method. So the correct choice is C, terrace farming that helps stop soil from washing away.
