Which item is a Submerged Areas and Bogs Symbol?

• A. Submerged marsh or swamp
• B. Levee
• C. Gravel beach
• D. Tailings pond

Answer: (A)

Wetlands and water-saturated areas are shown on maps with symbols that indicate submerged or boggy ground. A submerged marsh or swamp fits that category precisely, since bogs are wetland features that often lie at or below water level. The other options describe distinct features: a levee is a raised embankment built to keep water out, a gravel beach is a shoreline comprised of gravel, and a tailings pond is a mined-lirect containment pond. So the symbol for Submerged Areas and Bogs corresponds to submerged marsh or swamp.
