What do studies show about temperature tolerance of intertidal animals

Biology
1 answer:
Rom4ik [11]3 years ago
3 0

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The intertidal zone is a region of extreme conditions and the organisms should have special mechanisms to cope up with the extreme conditions. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Low tides expose an intertidal zone to air while high tides cover the intertidal zone with ocean water. When exposed to air the intertidal region is <em>directly exposed to the sun and there will be high temperature. </em>

Thus the animals have to cope up with the extreme heat and also have to face colder environment when under the sea.  <em>Since there is change in salinity the organisms have to handle this as well.</em>

Some animals with shells close their shell tightly to seal moisture. Animals like <em>snails and crabs have thick outer covering to prevent water loss by evaporation. </em>

Organisms like leaf barnacles cluster together to avoid individual exposure. <em>Animals like sea stars cling to the rocks to avoid being washed away by the waves. </em>
