Answer:

The marshes are defined as the type of wetland where the water covers the ground surface for a long period of time. Here, the trees are absent and are mostly dominated by the grasses and other small herbivore plants. They are commonly formed in delta type of environment where the rivers adds water into the seas. It forms an isolated and distinct ecosystem.

The marshes in nature, behaves like a filtration process as the vegetation that are present in marshes takes up more amount of nutrients for their growth and expansion. But, if it does not use up these excess nutrients then it cause water pollution comprising of nitrogen and phosphorous.  

They also plays an important role in the reduction of damages that are caused by a flood.

The marshes are sometimes seasonal and it occurs when the height of the river level is relatively high, and it floods the grassland areas.

The marshes are of three types-

(1) Tidal salt marshes

(2) Tidal freshwater marshes

(3) Inland freshwater marshes.

How were the Lechuguilla caves formed?
Ket [755]
This is a very good question, so I'm going to thank you for asking it in the first place. I would like to first tell you one amazing thing about the Lechuguilla caves were that they weren't formed like other average caves, up to down, when acidic water drips, and forms caves below us. The story of Lechuguilla was that oil from reservoirs not very far away under ground, and a chemical compound by the name of Hydrogen Sulfide gas piled up in there, and the culmination of the molecules underground, it created, well, a very, very strong acid. This is known as sulfuric acid. What the sulfuric acid did was pound through layers of the limestone existing underground. And what this did was form the Lechuguilla caves. And like at the beginning, the unique thing about the Lechuguilla was that this process made it form bottom to up, instead of top to bottom.

Most cities do not benefit from the free ecosystem services provided by ____, including air purification, generation of oxygen,
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Trees and Plants

Explanation:

Trees and plants in our communities are responsible for the maintenance of our ecosystem. There activities include carbon sequestration ( Plants remove carbon from the atmosphere and  fix it in their tissues), generation of oxygen (they generate oxygen as a by-product when photosynthesis occurs), control of soil erosion ( it is well known that plants and trees help in erosion control. in fact places with trees and good vegetation cover rarely suffer the effects of erosion) and habitat provision for wildlife (countless species make the trees and plants their abode or habitat i.e where they live).

This shows how important plants and trees are to our ecosystem.
