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

Explanation:

Salt marshes require calm - water environments to develop. High - energy coastlines have strong wave action that erodes and prevents the establishment of salt marshes. Low - energy coastlines have gentle water movement, allowing sediment to accumulate and salt - tolerant plants to grow, which are essential for salt marsh formation. They are coastal features, not found at high elevations or away from the coast.

Answer:

D. on low energy coastlines
