Detailed explanation-1: -The intertidal zone is the area where the ocean meets the land between high and low tides.

Detailed explanation-2: -The intertidal zone or “littoral zone” is the term used to describe the seashore which is covered during high tide and exposed during low tide, revealing a unique biome which survives under such fluctuating conditions (see below).

Detailed explanation-3: -It has four distinct physical subdivisions based on the amount of exposure each gets–the spray zone, and the high, middle, and lower intertidal zones. Each subzone has a characteristic and distinct biological community.

Detailed explanation-4: -Intertidal zone ecosystems are divided into four smaller regions called the spray zone and the high, mid, and low intertidal zones.
