The Aztec lived in wet areas. For farming, they used the chinampas to grow crops like corn, beans and squash. Chinampas were man-made islands, raised land on the surface of lake shallow waters. Chinampas were made of soil and rotten vegetation and dirt from nearby areas which allowed the crops to grow fast.
The Maya used the Slash and Burn method to farm. They would cut down all the trees and burned the stumps to clear the land for farming. The burning of vegetation provided fertile soil from the ashes. The Maya grew the same crops as the Aztec.
