Answer:

Swim toward the island; the waves aren't going to take you anywhere  

Explanation:

A swell in the ocean or in water is a series of waves that are caused by the wind currents across the water surface. It needs a large surface of water to develop a swell. It propagates at the interface between the air and the water surface.

A swell is formed by the wind strength over time and distance.  

In the given context, when the ship capsizes because of the swell coming from the northeast direction and there is a island at the southwest direction, I quickly need to swim towards the island because the waves will not carry me to the island instead it will force me deep into the ocean beneath its strong waves. Therefore, I need to swim towards the island as fast as possible.

Hence the answer is ---

Swim toward the island; the waves aren't going to take you anywhere

Why is it important that your Organ systems work together give an example of them working together
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

An organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform a certain function in a body. The human body has 11 different organ systems, some of which are the cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, and nervous systems. For example, the cardiovascular system consists of the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries.

Not only organs that make up an organ system have to work together, but organ systems as well. Otherwise, our body wouldn't be able to work properly. For example, the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system cooperate to deliver oxygen to cells and expel the carbon dioxide, which is the product of the cells.

Does the lack of validity and reliability undermine the credibility and rigor of qualitative research?
coldgirl [10]
Yes because you cannot establish credibility without a source that is experienced on the research topic. it would be like a janitor writing journals about brain surgery when he never went to school to get his doctorate degree and has no valid knowledge of the topic.
