Explanation:

Estuaries and their surrounding wetlands are bodies of water usually found where rivers meet the sea. Estuaries are home to unique plant and animal communities that have adapted to brackish water—a mixture of fresh water draining from the land and salty seawater.
Most estuaries can be grouped into four geomorphic categories based on the physical processes responsible for their formation:
1. Rising sea level
2. Movement of sand and sandbars
3. Glacial processes
4. Tectonic processes
