Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both swamps and marshes can be formed due to the infilling of a lake or other water body, resulting in a wetland area with standing water or saturated soil. However, swamps tend to have more woody vegetation (such as trees) and are often found in areas with slow or stagnant water flow, while marshes have more herbaceous vegetation (such as grasses) and tend to be found in areas with a lot of water movement (such as along riverbanks or estuaries).
