What is the definition of intertidal zone?

Answer 1

The intertidal zone (also known as the foreshore and seashore and sometimes referred to as the littoral zone) is the area that is exposed to the air at low tide and underwater at high tide (for example, the area between tide marks). This area can include many different types of habitats, including steep rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, or wetlands (e.g., vast mudflats). The area can be a narrow strip, as in Pacific islands that have only a narrow tidal range, or can include many meters of shoreline where shallow beach slope interacts with high tidal excursion.

Answer 2

The intertidal zone is the area along the coastline that is submerged during high tide and exposed during low tide. It is characterized by its fluctuating environmental conditions, including exposure to the air, changing water levels, and wave action, which support a unique diversity of plant and animal life adapted to these conditions.

Answer 3

"The area that is exposed to the air at low tide and underwater at high tide".
