Which symbol indicates the tide station symbol on nautical charts?

• A. Cable area symbol
• B. Current arrows on chart
• C. Wreck symbol
• D. Tide station symbol

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that charts mark where tidal information is available with a dedicated symbol. The tide station symbol shows locations where tide data is collected or published, so mariners can consult tide tables and plan around rising and falling water levels. This symbol is distinct from others: current arrows indicate water movement, wrecks mark hazards, and cable area symbols show submarine cables. Always check the chart legend to see the exact glyph used for the tide station on that chart, since the look can vary by chart.
