Bogs occur when the water in the ground is acidic and is of low nutrients. These types of landmasses usually have a thick upper layer but the lower layer has watery subsoil. The upper layers are usually bouncy in nature. Some portions remain weaker and water usually seeps up making them dangerous. Heavy objects tend to sink in those weak layers.
