Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rip currents carry water and sediments from nearshore to offshore in a concentrated and narrow channel. This channel is usually deeper than the surrounding area, allowing fine-grained sediments to be carried out of the surf zone and into deeper water. Longshore drift currents, swash currents, backswash currents, and Coriolis currents do not have the same ability to carry fine-grained sediments out of the surf zone into deeper water.
