The intertidal zone is the area of the shore that is alternately uncovered and covered with water as the tides go out and come in.
Because tidal effects are greater the farther from the equator one goes, the intertidal zones are (in general) larger farther to the north. Certainly if there is a vast area of very gradually sloping land adjacent to the shore, the intertidal zone can extend a long way out from the shoreline itself.

∙ 11y agoThe Intertidal Zone can be extremely hot or can be near freezing. It could also be salty one day and not salty the next day. It is really unpredictable because the intertidal zone just means the place where the water meets the land.

∙ 13y agoThe difference in water depth at high tide in the intertidal zone, which is the area between high tide and low tide, is typically about 3 meters above the depth of low tide. The Bay of Fundy on Canada's east coast has some of the highest tides in the world, up to 15 meters depth increase over low tide.

Which ecosystem would experience the most drastic changes in a 24-hour period?
The ecosystem that would experience the most drastic changes in a 24-hour period would be an intertidal zone. This is because an intertidal zone is exposed to all the changes in the tide during all times of the day. The intertidal zone is the portion of the shoreline that is covered with water at high tides and exposed to the air during low tides.
Which ocean zone is both biologically the most productive and physically the most demanding?
intertidal
What are abiotic factors in the intertidal zone?
Animals living on the rocks surface are called epifauna, these organisms in the rocky intertidal are fully exposed to the elements, causing a lot of physical stress. Low tides usually are problems for organisms with the highest part of the intertidal almost never immersed. Another abiotic factor includes the coping with wave shock, organisms must be able to withstand, or find shelter. One last factor is space which is so limited at times, that organisms may attach to each other instead of the rocks.
How deep is the intertisal zone?
The intertisal zone is not identified, however the intertidal zone is. The intertidal zone is that which is covered by water at high tide, and uncovered at low tide. The size and depth of this zone varies depending on geography.
