23. Estuaries have some of the highest abundance of organisms of all of the ecosystems in
the world.

24. Estuaries have very deep waters.

25. Estuaries provide food, shelter and nursery grounds for animals.

26. Estuaries tend to have low amounts of nutrients in their waters.

27. Estuaries are called the “cradle of the ocean.”

28. Estuaries are part of the intertidal zone.

29. Estuaries are stable environments in terms of tides, salinity and temperature.

Statement 22: It provides for the definition of an estuary i.e., partially closed bodies of water where water from ocean mixes with freshwater from rivers, lakes, or streams. Therefore, the statement is TRUE.
Statement 23: Estuaries have a very ideal ecosystem which supports both lives underwater and land making them rich in wildlife. This is because of the rich nutrient deposition in and around the estuaries. Therefore, the statement is TRUE.
Statement 24: Estuaries usually have shallow beds and do not tend to have deep water. Therefore, this statement is FALSE.
Statement 25: Since estuaries have good climatic conditions rich of flora and nutrients. It can provide food, shelter, and nursery grounds to animals. Therefore, this statement is TRUE.
Statement 26: Estuaries have a high deposition of nutrient as it includes the nutrient from the freshwater lakes and rivers as well as the nutrients from the sea and ocean. Hence, this statement is FALSE.

Statement 28: The intertidal zone is an area where the ocean meets the land during high and low tides. Since estuaries are located at the bank of the ocean, therefore, it is a part of the intertidal zone. Hence, this statement is TRUE.
Statement 29: Estuaries have a stable temperature ranging between 13 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius. Estuaries have a stable salinity of 0.5 to 35 ppt and are located at a safe tide zone. Therefore, this statement is TRUE.
