The four types of wetlands are fens,bogs,marshes,and swamps. The ones you hear mostly are swamps and marshes. That is cause they are the most common ones. marshes can be identified by the soil that is covered by shallow water all year round. fens are the type of wetland that has water under the soil. swamps they are different because trees grow in swamps. bogs are a type of wetland in which peat is formed.
