我們來仔細講一下吧！小小地理學時間
在地理學中，marsh 或者說是 morass 都是指一種濕地，是經由經常性或連續性洪水所造成的。而一般來說在marsh是含有淺水的，裡頭會長一些早生植物，例如莎草、燈心草等等，沒有高大的樹木在裡面。
swamp跟marsh是不同類的，在swamp中含有更高比例水面積，而且有些地方可能比marsh深。在北美，swamp是用來指有樹林的濕地。
bog 與 mire也是濕地的一種，他是由酸性的泥煤，或是死掉的植物的分解物，所堆積而成的濕地。 bog 與 mire常出現於地面上的水是酸性的地方，不管是本身的地面上的水、或者是降雨的水是酸性的都可以。 Bog濕地，的特色之一就是他的水通常帶有棕色。
至於slough也是指濕地。
在英國，slough = muddy or marshy area
在美國(東、東南部)，slough是一種淺水湖系統的swamp，通常是由大型水道的回水(backwater)所形成的濕地。slough裡面通常有長樹。另外slough這個字被保留來指「沒有與其他河流有連接」的freshwater swamp，slough中的水全都來自於降水。在海島上，slough是個重要的動植物棲息地，因為通常是唯一的淡水來源，像是短吻鱷也可能住在slough中。
