The answer to this question is quite simple. Go on the internet and write down the question. The answer should come up there. Good luck!!! JOKES!! I only know how coastal wetlands are formed. you will find the answer below. A coastal wetland forms when a river slows down as it approaches the sea, causing the sand and mud to sink to the bottom. Over time this sediment builds up into banks, on which plants grow. The plants then trap more sediment, and allow wetland habitats to develop The answer to this question is quite simple.

Do Humans live in the wetlands?

it is physically possible for humans to live in the wetlands, although, because of the moist environment, many humans choose not to. there are many alligators and swamp-animals which are not friendly toward humans, so you wont find humans living there.


Why are humans destroying wetlands?

Wetlands are specifically valuable to people as places for recreational and educational activities such as hunting, fishing, camping, and wildlife observation. Wetlands are often filled in to be used by humans for everything from agriculture to parking lots, in part because the economic value of wetlands has only been recognized recently: the shrimp and fish that breed in salt water marshes are generally harvested in deeper water, for example. Humans can maximize the area of healthy, functioning wetlands by minimizing their impacts and by developing management strategies that protect, and where possible rehabilitate those ecosystems at risk. Wetlands are sometimes deliberately created to help with water reclamation. One example is Green Cay Wetlands in Boynton Beach, Florida, in the United States. While the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that human activities are responsible for about 60 percent of methane emissions worldwide, wetlands are among the natural sources. A study by Ohio State University scientists suggests that river floods and storms that send water surging through swamps and marshes near rivers and coastal areas might cut in half the average greenhouse gas emissions from those affected wetlands.


Which of these could be an example of a freshwater wetland?

Marsh


Why are wetlands the 'kidney' of nature?

A healthy wetland also prevents pollutants from running into the bay. Ecologists call wetlands "the kidney" of the ecosystem because of the natural cleansing functions they perform. They do this by retaining sediments and toxic pollutants attached to the sediments. Wetland plants also reduce algae blooms and fish kills.Source:- http://www.pinolecreek.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=53:chelsea-wetlands&catid=36:future-projects&Itemid=55
