Which ecosystem is this? : These ecosystems are the areas of shorelines that are left uncovered during low tide but which are underwater during high tide; they are usually rocky, but in tropical areas they may be sandy; organisms that live here need to adapt to the waves, the sun, and both marine and land predators

the area of the shore and seabed that is exposed to the air at low tide and submerged at high tide, i.e. the area between tide marks

• neritic zone

• intertidal zone

• photic zone

• upwelling

What role do tide pools play in the intertidal zone of rocky shores?

• They provide a habitat for deep-sea organisms.

• They serve as temporary refuges for organisms to avoid desiccation.

• They are primarily used by birds for drinking water.

• They increase the salinity levels of the surrounding area.

Intertidal zone

• Area along the continental shelf where tides take place

• Shallow water, coral reefs can be found here

• Beyond the continental shelf, extends into the deep ocean
