Wet land is a type of environment that is characterized by wet, marshy areas. The term can be broken down into four distinct parts: MIRE (4 letters), BOG (3 letters), MARSH (5 letters), and FEN (3 letters). MIRE is an area of wet, spongy ground, often composed of peat. BOG is a type of wetland that is acidic and low in nutrients, and is usually dominated by sphagnum moss. MARSH is a type of wetland that is characterized by grasses and other herbaceous plants. FEN is a type of wetland that is fed by groundwater and is usually rich in minerals. Finally, SWAMP is a type of wetland that is characterized by trees and shrubs. All of these terms are used to describe wet land environments.
