The Intertidal Zone

1.What is it? The intertidal zone is a place where the land meets the sea. 2.Where is it? Intertidal zones are on the shore between the high and low tide marks. 3.What kind of environment is it? Intertidal zone environments are harsh because they are constantly changing. 4.What about the animals? Intertidal zone animals have to tolerate:  Changes in salinity  Changes in temperature  Changes in water levels  Being out of the water for short periods of time  Pounding waves
