Question

Location plays a role in wetland type, but is not the sole determining factor.

Answer 1

Word "wetland" was not generally used in American vernacular until recently.  

It appears to have adopted as euphemistic substitute for the word "swamp" (Wright, 1907).  

Nineteenth-century scientists used terms such as mire, bog and fen to explain the lands that are called wetlands and these terms are still used by scientists to explain definite types of wetland.  

The term wetland has slowly come into common scientific use only in 2nd half of twentieth century.

Answer 2

The characteristics of the fate line depends on the location primarily its latitude and longitude. But this is not only the prime factor which decides the characteristics of wetland. There are the factors also include the characteristics of a wetland like altitude and presence of surrounding water bodies.
