Question
salt marshes are found a. at high elevations b. away from the coast c. on high energy coastlines d. on low energy coastlines please select the best answer from the choices provided
Salt marshes form in sheltered areas with low - energy wave action. High elevations are not typical locations for them. Away from the coast, they lack the necessary saline water. High - energy coastlines have strong wave action that erodes rather than allows the formation of salt marshes. Low - energy coastlines provide the calm conditions needed for sediment deposition and plant growth characteristic of salt marshes.
