What is the portion of the shoreline that is covered with water at high tide and exposed to air during low tide?
The intertidal zone is the area that is exposed to the air at low tide and submerged at high tide. (Also known as the "foreshore" or "littoral zone").The intertidal zone is the area of the shoreline which is covered the rising tide during high tide and exposed during low tide.After the Intertidal zone is the neritic zone which extends from the extreme low tide line to the continental shelf.The Intertidal and Neritic zones are often also referred to as the Littoral and sublittoral zones, with the littoral zone beginning at the high water mark and extending to the low water mark and the sublitoral picking up where the littoral zone ends continuing on to the continental shelf.The area covered by high tide, but exposed at low tide is called the intertidal zone.

What is the definition of intertidal zone?
The intertidal zone (also known as the foreshore and seashore and sometimes referred to as the littoral zone) is the area that is exposed to the air at low tide and underwater at high tide (for example, the area between tide marks). This area can include many different types of habitats, including steep rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, or wetlands (e.g., vast mudflats). The area can be a narrow strip, as in Pacific islands that have only a narrow tidal range, or can include many meters of shoreline where shallow beach slope interacts with high tidal excursion.
