1. What are the primary characteristics of wetlands?

• Arid conditions, desert plants, and abundant rainfall

• Saturated soil, hydric soils, and low oxygen levels

• Rocky terrain, high oxygen levels, and dense forests

• Sandy soil, drought-resistant plants, and fluctuating water levels

2. 2. What is the relationship between the water level in wetlands and the groundwater table?

• They are unrelated and have no impact on each other.

• The water level in wetlands is always higher than the groundwater table.

• The water level in wetlands is influenced by the groundwater table.

• The groundwater table is determined solely by the presence of wetlands.

3. 3. Why are water-resistant plants crucial in wetland ecosystems?

• They require less water and can survive in arid conditions.

• They help maintain high oxygen levels in wetlands

• They contribute to the formation of hydric soils.

• They can thrive in wet, saturated soil conditions.

4. What is one of the benefits of wetlands mentioned in the passage?

• Providing electricity

• Supplying drinking water

• Increasing water availability

• Generating industrial products

5. 5. How do wetlands contribute to the environmental ecosystem?

• By releasing more pollutants

• By reducing erosion

• By increasing sediment levels

• By providing a home for invasive species

6. 6. What is one of the important roles wetlands play in supporting wildlife?

• Hosting amusement parks

• Provide water reserves

• Serving as habitats for native species

• Providing human needs

7. 7. What is one of the benefits of wetlands mentioned in the text?

• Providing water for irrigation

• Generating electricity

• Producing industrial materials

• Hosting amusement parks

8. 8. How do wetlands function as a “sponge” metaphorically?

• By absorbing heavy rainfall and preventing flooding

• By drying up quickly after rain

• By releasing water rapidly during storms

• By acting as a barrier to rainfall

9. In the metaphor, how do wetlands serve as a “filter”?

• By contaminating water

• By purifying and filtering water

• By diverting water away from pollutants

• By preventing water from flowing through them

10. What role does a wetland play as a “water tower” metaphorically?

• Storing rainwater and releasing it slowly

• Pumping water to urban areas

• Filtering all water that passes through it

• Generating hydroelectric power
