What kind of adaptations do organisms living in intertidal zones need to have?

1) must be adapted to dramatic change in temperature.
2)dramatic change in moisture
3)and salinity and must be able to withstand the force of wave action.
Hope that helped! I actually just had the same question in my science text book and this answer came right out of the article! xD

∙ 12y agoAnimals that live in the intertidal zone have to deal with exposure to air, as well as strong currents. Many organisms such as sea stars or sea urchins have developed what are called tube feet. Tube feet help to secure them to their rock. So some form of anchoring themselves. To deal with sun exposure, snails such as periwinkles and oyster drills . This forms a watertight seal around the shell, protecting them from the sun. So here, it would be moisture control.

Zonation occurs in the ocean zone called the?
Zonation occurs in the ocean zone called the intertidal. Zonation is the distribution of organisms in biogeographic zones. It is also the arrangement or formation in zones.
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.

How is the intertidal zone different from the other zones?
Organisms in the intertidal zone experience greater extremes of temperature and wave action than organisms in the near shore zone.
