What are five organisms that live in a shoreline environment?
Five organisms that live in a shoreline environment include crabs, seagulls, clams, seaweed, and sandpipers. These organisms are adapted to living at the boundary between land and water, taking advantage of the resources and ecological niches available in the intertidal zone.
Why are marine organisms said to literally live in a desert?
Marine organisms are said to live in a "desert" because ocean waters, especially in open ocean regions, have low nutrient concentrations similar to those found in deserts. This makes it challenging for marine organisms to find food, just like how organisms in deserts struggle to find water. However, in contrast to deserts, the ocean is vast and teeming with life in certain areas.
Does Maryland have the most shoreline?
While it has a lot we must respect Alaska's claim to that title because it has:6,640 miles of shoreline when measured from point to point.33,904 miles of shoreline if you include the numerous islands. And47,300 miles of estimated tidal shoreline if you measure islands, inlets and the shoreline to the head of tidal waters in its many rivers. Alaska is big. Consider for example that it has a common border with Canada that covers a distance of 1,538 miles and with an area of 586,412 square miles it is 47.25 times the size of Maryland. That's right, you can fit 47 Marylands into Alaska and still have some wiggle room.
How many coastlines does Canada have?
There are two types of coastline: saltwater coastlines on the shore of the ocean (or a gulf, bay, or other inlet) and lake coastlines (as along the great lakes, brackish estuaries, or other non-river waterfront). 30 US states have one type or both.23 US states have saltwater coasts (ocean, gulf, bay).There are 14 (or fifteen, with Pennsylvania) on the Atlantic, and 4 more on the Gulf of Mexico (along with Florida). There are 5 on the Pacific Coast, including Alaska and Hawaii. Alaska also has coastline on the Arctic Ocean. Pennsylvania is sometimes included as the 24th on the basis of its Delaware River estuary, a length of about 57 miles.8 states (including Pennsylvania and New York) have Great Lakes coastlines.SaltwaterHere are the figures for the US states that have saltwater (ocean) coasts:Alabama 53 miles (shoreline 607 miles)Alaska (total) 6640 miles (shoreline 33,904 miles)California 840 miles (shoreline 3,427 miles)Connecticut 96 miles (shoreline 618 miles)Delaware 28 miles (shoreline 381 miles)Florida (total) 1350 (shoreline 3,926 miles)Georgia 100 miles (shoreline 2,344 miles)Hawaii 750 miles (shoreline 1,052 miles)Louisiana 397 miles (shoreline 7,721 miles)Maine 228 miles (shoreline 3,478 miles)Maryland 31 miles (shoreline 3,190 miles)Massachusetts 192 miles (shoreline 1,519 miles)Mississippi 44 miles (shoreline 359 miles)New Hampshire 13 miles (shoreline 131 miles)New Jersey 130 miles (shoreline 1,792 miles)New York 127 miles (Atlantic shoreline 1,850 miles)North Carolina 301 miles (shoreline 3,375 miles)Oregon 296 miles (shoreline 1,410 miles)*Pennsylvania 57 miles (shoreline 57 miles - Delaware estuary)Rhode Island 40 miles (shoreline 384 miles)South Carolina 187 miles (shoreline 2,876 miles)Texas 367 miles (shoreline 3,359 miles)Virginia 112 miles (shoreline 3,315 miles)Washington 157 miles (shoreline 3,026 miles)FreshwaterHere are the figures for the states that have Great Lakes shorelines:(Pennsylvania and New York totals include their ocean coasts)Illinois (shoreline 63 miles)Indiana (shoreline 45 miles)Michigan (shoreline 3,224 miles)Minnesota (shoreline 189 miles)*New York (shoreline 2625 miles)Ohio (shoreline 312 miles)*Pennsylvania (shoreline 108 miles)Wisconsin (shoreline 820 miles)
