🔍 Key Concepts

• Chart symbols for seabed composition from Chart No. 1 (e.g., sand, rock, hard, boulders) • How to plot a new position 1 nm due west (270°T) of a known fix • Reading bottom characteristics printed near soundings at the new position

💭 Think About

• First, carefully plot your 0610 position, then use the chart scale/compass to go exactly 1 nm due west (270°T). What is your new position on the chart? • At that new position, look very closely for any text or abbreviations showing seabed type (for example, letters near the soundings). What abbreviation(s) do you see? • Match the chart abbreviation(s) at that point with the meanings in Chart No. 1. Which of the answer choices best matches that description?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you are truly going due west (270°T) from the 0610 position, not along a depth contour or LOP • Confirm you are looking at the bottom description nearest your plotted point, not one farther away or in a different depth area • Double‑check the meaning of the abbreviation on the chart against Chart No. 1 before matching it to an answer choice
