Types of Wetlands: Marsh, Swamp, Bog

Swamps - have slow-moving water and reside near rivers or other moving bodies of water. Marsh - Also near a moving body of water, but tends to not have much water movement. Also forms a transition between bodies of water and dry land. Bogs - These have a hard sealed clay soil bottom that prevents water from seeping out. Water collects in bogs usually from rain and sticks around. The water here is often acidic, bad for most plants, mostly moss grows here.
