Amount of Sunlight

Intertidal Temperatures

The intertidal zone gets the most amount of sunlight out of any other marine zone.

Average Rainfall

There are a wide range of temperatures possible for the intertidal zone.

If the intertidal zone is in the arctic, it will be much colder than an intertidal zone in the tropics.

Since the intertidal zone is located on almost every coast, the rainfall varies depending on that specific location. (latitude)

Intertidal zones are located at almost all latitudes. Every shore line in the world is made up of the intertidal zone.

It all depends on the location of the area

of shore line you want to know

This is an image of the different tidal zones around the world.

The intertidal zone has two zones:

  • splash zone and spray zone (water during a storm)

Tides:

  • high tide where life is much more abundant
  • mid-tide has less extreme temperatures
  • low tide submerged underwater most always

Intertidal zone

Salinity

  • tide pools form

-the salinity of tide pools varies from the salinity of the sea to much less salty

-rain water and runoff dilutes it

-animals must constantly adapt their systems

  • during low tide the water evaporates leaving salt deposits behind

Environmental Threats

Example of salt deposit

Endangered Species

GLOBAL WARMING!

  • bull shark
  • dark turtles
  • eels
  • harbor seal
  • coral reefs

TSUNAMI!

HURRICANES!

OIL SPILLS

CHEMICAL SPILLS

TRASH

Physiographic Features:

  • makes up most, if not all, coast lines
  • characterized by water movement
  • tide pools
  • breaking waves at a dept of 16-33 feet below tide level

Biotic Factors:

Barnacles, isopods, sculpun, crab, limpets, star fish, mussels, sea anemone, hermit crab, periwinkle snail, etc.

top predator(s):
