The intertidal zone is the area between tidemarks that is exposed during low tide and submerged during high tide. It is caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon along with the rotation of the Earth. The intertidal zone can be divided into three sections - the high tide zone, middle tide zone, and low tide zone - each with different environmental conditions and adapted animal life. To survive, animals in the intertidal zone must adapt to dangers of drying out, strong wave action, and predators exposed during low tides.

3. Intertidal zone
Intertidal Zone is that area
between tidemarks. It is a
stretch of shoreline that is
exposed when the tide is low
and submerged when the tide
is high.

4. What causes Intertidal
Zone?
Intertidal Zone is caused by
both the gravitational
attraction of the sun and
moon and the force created
by the rotation of the earth.
