Organisms such as barnacles, limpets, sea anemones, and periwinkles are commonly found living on rocks in the seashore. These organisms have adapted to withstand harsh conditions like exposure to sun, waves, and changing tides. They play important roles in the ecosystem by providing food for other animals and contributing to biodiversity.

Why do organisms live under rocks?
Organisms often live under rocks to find shelter from predators, extreme temperatures, and environmental conditions. These spaces provide a moist microhabitat that helps prevent desiccation, especially for small invertebrates. Additionally, being under rocks can offer access to food sources like decaying organic matter and microorganisms, supporting their survival.
What is a seashore rock pool?
A seashore rock pool is a pool of sea water trapped in rock depressions on a seashore while the tide recedes or where water is splashed or sprayed by wave action or storms during high tides and collects in a rocky basin from which it cannot drain.
Why do you find small rocks in the garden or in the seashore?
Small rocks are commonly found in gardens and on seashores due to natural erosion processes. Weathering and the movement of water break down larger rocks into smaller pieces over time. In gardens, these rocks can be remnants of construction or landscaping, while at the seashore, they are often shaped and smoothed by waves and currents. Additionally, human activity can contribute to the accumulation of small stones in these areas.
Why do you find smooth rounded rocks at the seashore and in rivers?
Smooth rounded rocks are found at the seashore and in rivers due to the natural process of erosion and weathering. As water flows over rocks, it gradually wears away sharp edges and rough surfaces, resulting in a smoother appearance. This process is enhanced by the constant movement of water, which transports and tumbles the rocks, further rounding them over time. Ultimately, the combination of abrasion and hydraulic action leads to the characteristic smoothness of these stones.
What is difference between field and seashore habitat?
At the seashore it is more airy than the field community because the seashore receives the breeze from the sea and the extra air from the surroundings. Shellfish such as oysters, starfish, mussels and seashells are found on the seashore but it is not found in the field. Similarly animals such as slugs,ants and beetle can be seen in the field but they are rarely seen on the seashore. On the seashore plants such as coconut trees, marram grass and palm trees can be found but rarely in the field. in the field trees such as almond trees and rain trees can be found . The seashore soil is sandy and muddy but the soil is fertile in the field.
