The splash / spray zone, which is the uppermost region of the tidepool, is seldom covered by the ocean. It gets moisture from wave splash, spray and rain.

What is the differenCE between tidal and non-tidal?

Tidal zones are affected by the regular rise and fall of tides, while non-tidal zones do not experience this phenomenon. Tidal zones have distinctive marine life adapted to tidal fluctuations, while non-tidal zones have a more stable environment. Tidal zones may have higher biodiversity due to the constant mixing of nutrients and oxygen brought by the tides.

What is the soil type in inter tidal zones?

The soil in intertidal zones is typically composed of a mix of sand, silt, clay, and organic materials, resulting in a sedimentary type known as estuarine or marine sediment. This soil is often characterized by its high moisture content and variable salinity due to tidal influences. Additionally, it may contain a significant amount of nutrients, supporting diverse plant and animal life adapted to the fluctuating conditions of these zones. The texture can vary widely, from fine muds in quieter areas to coarser sands in more exposed locations.


What are giant tidal waves called?

i would say earthquakes but there are more reasons edit: Tidal waves are the byproduct of undersea plate tectonics. Subduction zones create large amounts of friction which then in turn create seismic waves which are transferred in to the surrounding sea water and take the form of fast moving waves in the open ocean. When the water becomes more shallow is when you see the classic images of a tsunami or tidal wave.
