    The difference between bogs, marsies,and a smamps are....
    Bogs have a depression where water collect while marshes and swamps have lots of water but marshes have tall grass and swamps have trees and look like a flooted foriset.



    Ecological succession is the observed process of change in the species structure of an ecological community over time.

    A bog is where the water at the ground surface is acidic.
    A march is a type of wetland which is subject to a continuous flood.
    A swamp is a wetland featuring temporary or permanent inundation
    of large areas of land by shallow bodies of water.

    an ecological succesion is a fundamental concept in ecology, refers to the predictable and orderly changes in the composition or structure of an ecological community

  7. Bogs are acidic (ex: Cranberry Farming), Marshes are super shallow and have reeds around it (ex: Backbay), and Swamps are usually in a forest or in a dense wooded area.

    A bog is an area having a wet, spongy, acidic substrate composed chiefly of sphagnum moss and peat in which characteristic shrubs and herbs and sometimes trees usually grow.
    A marsh is an area of soft, wet, low-lying land, characterized by grassy vegetation and often forming a transition zone between water and land.
    A swamp is a seasonally flooded bottom land with more woody plants than a marsh and better drainage than a bog.

    bogs have sphagnum moss and there acidi. marshes are shallow and have lots of cattail. swamps are like flooded forests and they have srubs

  13. 1)
    Bog- is formed where theres depression its also acidic and has lots of mass.
    Marsh- is shallow water and flooded It also has reeds, grasses,and more.
    Swamp- Is like a flooded forest with lots of trees!

    2) Ecological succession-
    refers to change species and struture and stable community and could have changes over time!..

  14. the difference of the three are bogs have a depression where water collects. marshes are shallow and have tall grass. swamps have trees and are flooded forests.

  16. BOGS-acidic depressions
    MARSHES-shallow wetlands,they have cat tail plants
    SWAMPS-flooded forests; trees and shrubs

    Ecological Succession: natural, gradual changes in the types of species that live in an area; can be primary or secondary.

  22. bogs are sphagnums and an are acidic and cranberry are grown in bogs. marshes are shallow and have lots of plants growing around like cattails and tall grass an example of a marshes is the back bay. a swamp looks like a forest that has been flooded and there is lots of trees and shrubs.

    1) Bogs - for, om depressions where water collects and are acidic.
    Marshes - shallow wetlands along rivers and may be under water for all/part of the year.
    Swamps - flooded forests.
    2) Ecological succession - natural, gradual changes in the types of species that live in an area; can be primary or secondary.

    bogs have depressions where water sits and marshes have tall grass and swamps have large trees and is like a flooded forest.

  26. -Bogs are dominated by sphagnum moss and form in depressions.
    -Marshes are shallow and contain cattails, rushes and other tall grass like plants.
    -Swamps are like flooded forests and contain trees and shrubs.

    Ecological Succession is a series of changes that occur in a community over time.

  36. bogs are water collected in a depression in a land that are acidic. marshes are shallow collected water with smaller plant life like reeds and under water plants. swamps are an area like a marsh but can contain larger plant life like trees. ecological succesion in the slow but steady introduction of life that was dead through introduction of new soil

  37. Bogs are depressions and have acidic content. Marshes have cattails, swamps have trees surrounding it.

    Ecological succession is change overtime involving the species of an ecosystem.

    Bogs are a depression in which water collects.
    Swamps and marshes have plenty of water but marshes have tall grass as opposed to swamps which have trees
