The rocks in the splash zone are often black because of the growth of algae, seaweed, or other marine organisms on their surfaces. These organisms thrive in the wet and nutrient-rich environment of the splash zone, giving the rocks their dark appearance. Additionally, the constant exposure to water and sunlight can create a layer of oxidation or mineral deposits that darken the rocks over time.
