Comparing Wetland

The video tutorial explores different types of wetlands, including swamps, bogs, and marshes. It explains how each type of wetland is characterized by its water source, plant life, and animal inhabitants. Swamps can be freshwater or saltwater, often formed by flooding, and are rich in diverse wildlife. Bogs are freshwater wetlands, primarily fed by rainwater, known for peat accumulation and limited animal life. Marshes, which can also be freshwater or saltwater, are grasslands with abundant plant life and diverse animal species. The tutorial highlights the unique traits and common characteristics of these wetlands.
