Where would you find wetlands?
this answer is the best wetlands are located on every part of the earth even on Jupiter and Pluto
While there are similarities, the tundra is considered a separate biome from the desert.
A lot of water is absorbed and held by the ground in wetlands. by paving these areas all of the water from rain runs directly to drainage and and overloads the system. rather then having some retained in the wet lands. The same sort of thing can happen with chopping down forests the trees and leaves and plants hold back an enormous amount of the water that comes down in rain.
What are two types of wetland?
There are three types of wetlands:
- Marsh- a coastal wetland which contains fresh water. It has soft-stemmed plants and sometimes marshes are covered with ocean water.
- Swamp- contains woody plants and trees. It is a coastal wetland filled with salty ocean water. Mangrove trees could be found in a swamp.
- Bog- a wetland found with a layer of peat. Rotting and decaying plants and animals form a layer in the bog. Bogs are found near foggy hills, streams, slow moving rivers, small lakes or large ponds.
What adaptations do animals have in the wetland?
Depends on the animal. Birds usually have longer legs, like herons. Alligators look like floating debris. Dragonflies lay their eggs near the water, on stems. Animals like manatees depend on their size, and eat plants. May creatures have webbed feet, and have strong legs, for swimming.
I hope that helps.
