Answer to Question 1

Wetlands are swamps, ponds, and other places where water often stands. Wetlands are
important for the following reasons:
 Provide habitat for wildlife
 Aesthetic and recreational purposes
 Flood control
 Improvements in water quality
 Shoreline erosion control

Answer to Question 2

Wildlife refers to plant and animal organisms that live in the wild and rely on natural
food and habitat to survive. Improper use of pesticides and/or fertilizers exposes
wildlife to pesticide dangers, which in turn offsets the delicate balance in nature and
causes major environmental concerns.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
