What characteristic differentiates high mass stars from low mass stars?

High mass stars are the largest, hottest and brightest while the low mass stars are the smallest, coolest and dimmest. High mass stars use their hydrogen fuel rapidly and have short lives while the low mass stars use hydrogen fuel slowly and have long lives. High mass stars pass through the Red Supergiant stage before dying in supernovae explosions while the low mass stars simply die by burning up their fuel to leave behind the white dwarfs which themselves cool and contract further to black dwarfs.

Wetlands form where water and land meet. a lake with a wetland fringe can fill in with decayed plant and animal material to become a wet meadow. a pond can fill in to become a bog or fen. sediment can fill in a river marsh to become a swamp.flooding of coastal lowlands from rising sea levels has created broad coastal marshes that are protected from wave action by barrier islands or reefs. coastal wetlands also form when rivers deposit sediment as they reach the ocean. plants then take root and hold the soil firm against the forces of tides and waves.
