Tenochtitlan was located within a valley that has a subtropical highland climate (Köppen Cwb), due to its tropical location and high elevation of 2,240 meters (7,349 feet) above sea level. The lower region of the valley is composed mainly of grassland that receives less rainfall than the upper regions of the south; the upper southern region is a mountainous region of pine and oak trees known as the range of Ajusco. At the time of its foundation, the valley was dominated by a large lake known as Lake Texcoco, so the climate was a bit cooler than it is today. After Spanish forces destroyed the Aztec capital city in 1521, they proceeded to desiccate the lake, and nowadays only some marshy remains of it lie on the northeastern area of the city, close to the airport.
