in 3-5 sentences, explain how the Aztecs tried to adapt to their environment and whether they were successful.

The Aztecs adapted to their environment in various ways. Firstly, they built chinampas, artificial islands made of mud and vegetation, to farm on the lake beds. This allowed them to increase agricultural production and support their growing population. Additionally, they developed a complex system of canals and aqueducts to manage water resources and prevent flooding. These adaptations were largely successful as they allowed the Aztecs to create a prosperous and efficient civilization in a challenging environment.
