NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Typically located on passive margins, in areas characterized by low-wave energy, a wide continental shelf, and high offshore sediment influence, sandy beaches are found in wave-dominated, depositional settings such as the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico coasts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sandy shores appear as beaches in enclosed bays between rocky headlands or as long stretches of sand adjacent to coastal dune systems or sandy spits. Sandy shores are highly dynamic environments, have a characteristic biodiversity and represent a unique gradient of habitats.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sandy shores, also called beaches, are coastal shorelines where sand accumulates. Their slope, and dunes are heavily influenced by the tides and wind. They are often found on the Eastern Seaboard on the United States, as well as many areas in the Tropical Pacific. Some salt marshes can be found around these shores.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sandy seashore can be divided into four general zones: Intertidal, Pioneer, Fixed Dune and Scrub Woodland. (Cocothrinax argentata)and Seagrape (Coccoloba uvifera). Most animals found in this zone are dead, having been washed ashore by the tide-their shells remain as a reminder of the creatures that once were.
