On a topographic sheet, blue is conventionally reserved for

  • A.roads, tracks and other constructed routes
  • B.contours and the rest of the relief detail
  • C.vegetation cover and areas of forest land
  • D.water features such as rivers and lakes

Answer: D

Correct answer: water features such as rivers and lakes

Blue is reserved for hydrography - rivers, lakes, coastlines, marshes and the names that go with them. The topographic colour conventions are consistent enough across national series to be worth learning as a set: blue for water, brown for relief, green for vegetation, black for constructed detail and names, and red for major roads and selected features.
