Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Tidal flat supports the growth of Mangrove Swamp. The combination of low tidal range and a climate which supports growth of vegatation tends to restrict the intertidal flats. A mangrove swamp is a distinct saline woodland or shrubland habitat formed by mangrove trees. They are characterized by depositional coastal environments, where fine sediments collect in areas protected from high-energy wave action.
