The subtidal area is the last zone we will discuss. This area is submerged most of the time, exposed briefly during extreme low tides around full and new moon events. This zone provides habitat to a large diversity of plants and animals in contrast to the other zones. It is dominated by red algae and the most common animals found here are the grazers such as periwinkles and sea urchins.
The sublittoral zone extends from below low tide to the edge of the continental shelf. This area can generally be found about 150 to 300 meters in depth. There is a great abundance of plant and animal life in this zone because the sunlight can reach the bottom in most areas, and there is a lot of nutrient's.
Organisms:
Periwinkles
Kelp Fish
Chitons
Sponges
Sea Urchins
Plants:
Red Algae
Hudson Plant
Hope That Helps!
What is the temperature in the intertidal zone? What does this mean?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
yu5tr
the bathyal zone is under the sublittoral zone I'm in 6t grade and i know that gesse people thanks
the bathyal zone is under the sublittoral zone haha (:
Pelagic Zone
pelagic
its the sublittoral zone
- the intertidal zone - the sublittoral zone - the bathyal zone - the abyssal zone and - the hadal zone
The Central Time Zone is east of the Mountain Time Zone.
erosion zone
A school zone is not a time zone.
its the sublittoral zone
it is always covered in water
The type of animals that are typically absent in a soft bottom subtidal community are sessile. A sessile animal is not able to move and is permanently attached to something solid.
The intertidal ecosystem has the most life in it, it is between high tide and low tide and is always changing. Organisms that live in this area must be able to live with water and no water, also have protection from sea gulls and other sea birds that prey there. Some examples of animals that live there are ghost crab, coquinas, skates, and sand dollars. there are different zones in that too, like that beach zone and subtidal zone for example.
The majority of mollusca species live in marine environments, and many of them are found intertidally, in the shallow subtidal and on the continental shelf.
Benthic, anywhere from the sub-littoral to the subtidal to the abyssal. Depends on the species. They generally prefer a rocky bottom.

Finger Sponges are found southwards from Western Australia to the central New South Wales coast. Finger Sponges live in coastal waters and on subtidal rocky reefs.
-The Epipelagic zone (sunlight zone) -The Mesopelagic zone (twilight zone) -The Bathypelagic zone (midnight zone)
Oysters thrive in the tidal zones of sea or ocean water. There are intertidal and subtidal types of oysters, which both provide a habitable place for smaller sea animals to live within their hard shells.
midnight zone?
