Answer Posted / anitha
A bog contains standing water- there are no inlets or
outflows. Dead plant material accumulates and decays,
causing the water to be acidic. Bogs are very poor in
nutrients.
Marshes are shallow wetlands with slowly flowing water.
They're dominated by non-woody plants, like cattails, which
grow in the mud underwater and stick out above the water's
surface.
In swamps, most of the plants are large trees that have
adapted to living in water. In very basic terms, swamps are
flooded forests. Our beautiful red or swamp maples thrive
in these wetlands.
