Which item is a Surface Features Symbol?

Which item is a Surface Features Symbol?

• A. Levee
• B. Submerged marsh
• C. Land subject to inundation
• D. Intricate surface area

Answer: (A)

Maps use symbols to show features you can see on the ground’s surface. A levee is a raised embankment built along a river or coast to prevent flooding, so it’s depicted as a surface feature symbol on the map. The other options describe things that aren’t standard surface features shown as symbols: a submerged marsh is underwater and not a surface feature you’d mark on the land surface; land subject to inundation is a hazard designation rather than a specific surface feature; and an intricate surface area isn’t a recognized map symbol. So the item that is a Surface Features Symbol is levee.
