What is the difference ?

 

1. All except moors are wetlands. Moors are found in upland areas and have low growing vegetation.

Swamp, a wetland dominated by woody plants like trees

Marsh, a wetland with herbaceous plants but few trees

Bog, a wetland that has a lot of peat or other layers of decomposing vegetation.

 

2. Moist - A surface damp to touch, possibly could be described as wet

   Humid - the air around you has a high content of water vapour, high humidity combined with heat is very uncomfortable.

 

3 Drought - no rain for a long time.

   Aridity - an area that typically has a low rainfall so water is rare. Deserts are arid.
