What is the portion of the shoreline that is covered with water at high tide and exposed to air during low tide?

The intertidal zone is the area that is exposed to the air at low tide and submerged at high tide. (Also known as the "foreshore" or "littoral zone").The intertidal zone is the area of the shoreline which is covered the rising tide during high tide and exposed during low tide.After the Intertidal zone is the neritic zone which extends from the extreme low tide line to the continental shelf.The Intertidal and Neritic zones are often also referred to as the Littoral and sublittoral zones, with the littoral zone beginning at the high water mark and extending to the low water mark and the sublitoral picking up where the littoral zone ends continuing on to the continental shelf.The area covered by high tide, but exposed at low tide is called the intertidal zone.


The area on land that is covered at high tide but not at low?

intertidal zone


What is the climate in the intertidal zone?

Lower intertidal zone - dry only during the lowest tides and contains the highest biodiversity within the intertidal zone.Middle intertidal zone - regularly covered with sea water.Upper intertidal zone - covered by water during high tide so it experiences dry periods daily.Spray zone - the "desert" of the intertidal zone, this area survives on the mist and spray of the ocean.


How deep is the intertisal zone?

The intertisal zone is not identified, however the intertidal zone is. The intertidal zone is that which is covered by water at high tide, and uncovered at low tide. The size and depth of this zone varies depending on geography.

There is a section of a beach or shoreline which is sometimes covered by the ocean, when the tide is high, and sometimes is uncovered, when the tide is low; this is the intertidal zone.

What are intertidal?

Intertidal zones are areas of the shoreline that are covered by water during high tide and uncovered during low tide. They are home to a diverse range of marine organisms adapted to living in this dynamic and challenging environment.

Is intertidal zone fresh or salt water?

The intertidal zone is typically made up of salt water, as it is influenced by the tides of the ocean. However, in some cases, freshwater intertidal zones can exist where rivers or streams meet the ocean.
