Apologies for the incorrect response. The correct answer is indeed that terrace farming absorbed rainwater better. In the mountainous regions where the Incan Empire was located, a system of terrace farming was developed to make use of the sloped landscape. By constructing terraces in a stepped pattern, excess rainfall would be captured and absorbed by the soil, preventing erosion and allowing the crops to receive adequate hydration. This method of farming proved crucial in the arid Andean terrain, as it helped conserve water and create more sustainable agricultural practices.
