Are tidal flats submerged during ebb tide?
do Tidal flats become submerged during ebb tide.
What is the zone that is visible at low tide?
Intertidal.
What is the beach like during high tides?
No, low tide has more visible beach. In a high tide scenario, the water level has risen, making the water line creep up the beach, thus reducing the amount of visible beach above the water line.
The area of shoreline that is alternately exposed and submerged?
The Intertidal Zone is the area that is exposed at low tide and then covered at high tide. This zone is then subdivided into 6 other zones including the Black Zone, Periwinkle Zone, Barnacle Zone, Rockweed Zone, Irish Moss Zone, and the Kelp Zone.
What is the opposite of a neap tide called?

How does groyne stop sand pebbles moving?
It disrupts the swirling flow of the tide, and anchors the sand, gravel and pebbles to one place - with severely limited movement.

Intertidal.
How are materials mover along the beach?
If by materials you mean sand and pebbles then the answer is by the wind and the water when the tide comes in.
Does the tide sort out pebbles according to size?
Yes. The process is called "classification" and occurs in lots of filtration systems too.
How can the sea be destructive?
The sea can be destructive by splashing water, pebbles, sand, mud and seashells to the tide. It can also pull soft rocks out to sea.
What area of land is covered at high tide but not at 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") Source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intertidal_zone If this information was found to be helpful or accurate, please add trust. Thank you.

What is the life cycle of mangrove?
Mangrove are plants found on the peripheral areas of sea. During high tide these get submerged in water and have vivipery to complete their life cycle by alternation of generations.
Why do pebbles go smaller the closer you are to the sea?
This is to do with tide patterns and percolation. A wave's swash (wave going up the beach) is very powerful and has enough power to carry large pebbles up the beach. However on a pebble beach, a lot of the waves energy is lost filling the gaps in the pebbles. All those small spaces mean the wave loses power and its backwash (wave going back down the beach) is much weaker than its swash. Only the smaller pebbles can be pulled back down the beach. This leaves the larger pebbles further up the beach.
When does the beach start to reappear?
Greater portions of the beach begin to appear during ebbing tides, until the maximum amount of beach is visible at low tide. This usually happens twice a day.
Is an ocean in motion with ocean waves and tides?
Yes, as the waves are circling underwater they tend to bring the tide up and make it visible.
