Question 2

The West Siberian Plain has marshes and swamps.

Answer

The West Siberian Plain is made up of silt brought by Ob, Yenisei and Lena rivers. The lower course of these rivers remain frozen during long winters and that's why the water that comes from the upper course spreads over large parts of the West Siberian Plain and form marshes and swamps.
