Geography influenced the development of Tenochtitlan because at first, the land was full of water, but then the Aztecs reclaimed land from the lakes by sinking timbers into the water to serve as walls and filled the area between the timbers with mud, reeds, and boulders. In this way they created small islands called chinampas, or "floating gardens". Eventually, Aztecs expanded the city's land surface until it covered over five square miles. They even merged Tlatelolco,originally a separate island, with Tenochtitlan.
