intertidal zones
the word \intertidal\ means \the area of a seashore which is covered by water at high tide and uncovered at low tide.\
the intertidal zone occurs anywhere the ocean meets land including rocky shores and sandy beaches. creatures that live here must be tough to survive because they have to be able to survive both in and out of water.
below is an image of a rocky intertidal zone:
why do creatures that live in the intertidal zone have to be very tough to survive?
because they have to be able to live both in and out of water
because there is no sunlight present there
because there is very little food available
The intertidal zone is covered by water at high tide and uncovered at low tide. So creatures here must survive both in and out of water. The option "because there is no sunlight present there" is incorrect as intertidal zones get sunlight. The option "because there is very little food available" is also incorrect as intertidal zones have food sources. So the correct reason is they need to live both in and out of water.
