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 several ways. Firstly, they built chinampas, artificial islands made of mud and vegetation, to expand agricultural land in the marshy areas of the Valley of Mexico. This allowed them to produce enough food to sustain their growing population. Additionally, they developed an extensive system of aqueducts and canals to manage water resources efficiently. Despite facing challenges such as frequent floods and limited resources, the Aztecs were largely successful in adapting to their environment and building a prosperous civilization in the region.
