Question

FIRST ONE TO ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST!!
The diagram shows parts of a rip current.
Which part of the rip current is most dangerous to a swimmer, and why?

A. The feeder is the most dangerous part of the rip current because the water’s speed increases and swimmers can be swept against the shore.
B. The neck is the most dangerous part of the rip current because the water’s speed increases and swimmers can be pushed farther into the ocean.
C. The head is the most dangerous part of the rip current because the water’s speed increases and swimmers can be pulled down to the ocean floor.
D. The breaker is the most dangerous part of the rip current because the water’s speed increases and swimmers can be swept toward a sandbar.

Answer 1

Your answer is B. This is because rip currents will not pull a swimmer under water, but it will push them out to the open water, away from the shore, making it dangerous for them.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (B)

Explanation: The neck of the rip current is the most dangerous part, where the water flows in a small narrow channel, with huge velocities towards the open ocean. This pushes the body with great force due to which it becomes difficult for the swimmers to swim. One must loosen up and keep floating until he/she reaches the head part of the rip current, because from that region, again the person can swim and reach the shore with the help of current breakers.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
