Detailed explanation-1: -Most scientists consider swamps, marshes, and bogs to be the three major kinds of wetlands. A swamp is a wetland permanently saturated with water and dominated by trees. There are two main types of swamps: freshwater swamps and saltwater swamps.

Detailed explanation-2: -Where Are Mangroves Found? Mangroves grow in sheltered tropical and subtropical coastal areas across the globe. In general, this is an area between latitudes of 25 degrees north and 25 degrees south, however, geographical limits are highly variable depending upon the area of the world and local climates.

Detailed explanation-3: -At more than 42 million acres, the Pantanal is the largest tropical wetland and one of the most pristine in the world. It sprawls across three South American countries-Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay-and supports millions of people there, as well as communities in the lower Rio de la Plata Basin.

Detailed explanation-4: -Wetlands can be tidal (inundated by tides) or non-tidal. The water in wetlands is either freshwater, brackish, or saltwater. There are four main kinds of wetlands – marsh, swamp, bog, and fen (bogs and fens being types of peatlands or mires).

Detailed explanation-5: -Marshes. Marshes are characterized by standing water and emergent vegetation such as cattails, bulrushes, sedges, and wild rice.
