| 10 | water-saturated land area that supports aquatic plants | 3 sets |
| 11 | an area of a land that is covered by a shallow layer of water for all or some of the year | 3 sets |
| 12 | lands where water saturation is the dominant factor determining the nature of the soil development and the plant and animal communities (e.g., sloughs, estuaries, marshes) | 3 sets |
| 13 | areas that are covered with water for a large part of the year | 3 sets |
| 14 | an area of land saturated with water. they provide protection against storm surges in three ways. 1. lower temperature of water (no heat energy for the storm). 2. trees provide a wind break. 3. wetlands absorb water from the surge of water. | 3 sets |
| 15 | area covered with water that supports aquatic plants, may flood occasionally or be permenantly saturated | 2 sets |
| 16 | shallow ecosystems in which the land surface is submerged at least part of the yearin africa, acacias and other spiny plans dominate this landscape. | 2 sets |
| 17 | any landscape that is covered with water for at least part of the year | 2 sets |
| 18 | wet at least part of the year and have particular type of vegetation and soil: salt marshes, swamps, bogs, prairie potholes, and vernal pools | 2 sets |
| 19 | lands where water saturation is the dominant factor determining the nature of the soil development and the plant and animal communities | 2 sets |
| 20 | land where water has a greater effect than any other factor on the land's soil, plants, and animals | 2 sets |
| 21 | lands where water saturation is the dominant factor determining the nature of the soil development and the plant and animal communities (e.g., sloughs,esaturies,marshes). | 2 sets |
| 22 | ecosystems of several types in which rooted vegetation is surrounded by standing water during part of the year. (see also swamp, marsh, bog, fen) | 2 sets |
