Detailed explanation-1: -The intertidal zone experiences two different states: one at low tide when it is exposed to the air and the other at high tide when it is submerged in seawater. The zone is completely submerged by the tide once or twice every day.

Detailed explanation-2: -The intertidal zone is the area where the ocean meets the land between high and low tides. A tide pool within Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Intertidal zones exist anywhere the ocean meets the land, from steep, rocky ledges to long, sloping sandy beaches and mudflats that can extend for hundreds of meters.

Detailed explanation-3: -Organisms that live in this zone have to deal with difficult environmental conditions, being both submerged in sea water and exposed to the air. They have to bear the great physical impact of waves, desiccation, and sunlight. Occasionally there are rains which saturate them in fresh water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which statement is true about intertidal zones? Intertidal zones are nearly void of life. Organisms that live in the intertidal zone must burrow or find a holdfast to avoid being washed away.

Detailed explanation-5: -The intertidal zone, also known as the foreshore, is the area above water level at low tide and underwater at high tide (in other words, the area within the tidal range).
