What would happen if wetlands became extinct?
When wetlands are paved over there could be flood around/near that area because when it rains hard wetlands soak water and the kind work as a filtering system. As mentioned above that wetlands soak water when it rains, well when they are paved over cement/concrete don't absorb the water. So there are chances that when it rains really hard in that area it might be flooded.
Where is the lagest wetland in Canada?
Hudson's Bay Lowlands, a wetland complex of dominated by peatlands (wetlands with greater than 40 cm of organic soil) with some mineral soil wetlands. The peatlands are comprised mostly of treed, shrubby, and open rich fens, with some treed, shrubby, and open bogs, and some conifer swamp. The mineral soil wetlands include shrub swamps, marshes, and shallow water wetlands.

How do salt marshes protect the coast?
Salt marshes protect the coast by acting as natural buffers against storm surges, high waves, and coastal erosion. Their dense vegetation stabilizes the soil and absorbs excess water, reducing the impact of flooding. Additionally, salt marshes provide important habitat for wildlife and contribute to water quality by filtering pollutants. Overall, they play a crucial role in maintaining coastal resilience.
How does water impact the wetland?
People destroy wetlands by littering it. We can stop it by not waiting for the world to stop it, but by stopping it yourself.

What are the temperature ranges for wetlands?
Temperatures vary greatly depending on the location of the wetland. Many of the world's wetlands are in temperate zones (midway between the North and South Poles and the equator). In these zones, summers are warm and winters are cold, but temperatures are not extreme. However, wetlands found in the tropic zone, which is around the equator, are always warm. Temperatures in wetlands on the Arabian Peninsula, for example, can reach 122°F (50°C). In northeastern Siberia, which has a polar climate, wetland temperatures can be as cold as -60°F (-5l °C). --Good Answer?-- **Give me trust!
