Explanation:
Definicja, wskazująca na cechę charakterystyczną pła - powstawanie przy brzegach jezior i odrywanie się od nich:

"Quaking bog or schwingmoor is a form of bog occurring in wetter parts of valley bogs and raised bogs, and sometimes around the edges of acidic lakes where bog is beginning to form. The bog vegetation forms a mat half a metre or so thick, floating over water or very wet peat."
