Read what our textbook says about this for help!
"One of these basins- the Valley of Mexico- was the center of the Aztec empire. Fertile volcanic soils and water flowing from the mountains around it made the valley a good place to settle. At the center of the Valley of Mexico was a large lake, Lake Texcoco. The Aztec could easily defend their city from attack. The lake itself and the canals the Aztec built made transport easy.
