Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Saltwater wetlands are found along the coast, and freshwater wetlands are found further inland where saltwater, from tides and coastal flooding, can’t reach them.
Detailed explanation-3: -A freshwater wetland is supplied with water from the nearby streams and rivers. Examples of freshwater wetland are marshes, sedge meadows, wet prairie, fens and seeps, swamps, and bogs.
Detailed explanation-4: -Estuaries are home to unique plant and animal communities that have adapted to brackish water-a mixture of fresh water draining from the land and salty seawater.
