<span>Mangrove forests cannot withstand freezing temperature that is why they can only grow at tropical and subtropical latitudes whereas salt marshes grow in middle to high latitudes. Mangrove forests can be recognized by their tangle of roots that allow them to stand still on stilts above water. The roots of the mangrove trees slow the movement of tidal waters causing the sediments to settle out of water and build up the muddy bottom. For salt marshes, they are coastal wetlands that are flooded and drained by salt water brought by tidal waves. The difference between the two is that mangrove forests are woodlands and salt marshes are coastal wetlands. </span>

Which property of water allows some lightweight insects to walk on top of a pond and not fall in
sergejj [24]

Surface tension is the property of water which allows for some lightweight insects to walk on top of a pond and not fall in. The molecules of water are held together by cohesive forces. The molecules of water present below the surface experience this cohesive force from all the directions, whereas the water molecules present on the surface experience a downward pull, as the force is not balanced. This leads to the concaving of the water surface inside a small tube.
