Answer:

False. Boulders, which are large rock fragments with a diameter greater than 25 centimeters (cm), are typically not deposited in low-energy lakes and swamps. Low-energy environments, such as lakes and swamps, are characterized by calm and slow-moving water, which is generally not capable of transporting or depositing large boulders.

Boulders are more commonly associated with high-energy environments, such as rivers, glaciers, and coastal areas with strong wave action. In these settings, the force of the water is sufficient to move and deposit boulders.
