How was the Okefenokee Swamp created?
Lots and lots of fresh water is the key to how the Okefenokee Swamp was created. The land was already naturally flat, and it held the water very well. Vegetation lives and dies and becomes part of the ground cover (mostly peat) in the swamp. The fresh water keeps the vegetation from rotting, and this vegetation adds to the base on which the swam was built. Lots of water and lots of plants in a warm, humid environment created and now maintain the Okefenokee, the land of the trembling earth. It's an extraordinary and marvelous natural wonder, and you can find links below to begin to uncover more about this incredible place.
