The littoral zone is also known as the intertidal zone is the place where the land and sea meet and is found between the low and high tide zones. This diverse marine ecosystem is witnessed along the coastlines globally. It comprises ample nutrients and oxygen and is considered home to numerous species.
The littoral zone is further differentiated into vertical zones, like the spray zone and low tide zone. Spray zone also known as the upper littoral, and is dry in the majority of the time, but sprayed with water at the time of high tides. It gets flooded at the time of extreme high tides and storms.
The low tide zone also is known as the lower littoral zone, is generally found under water and gets exposed when the tide becomes abnormally low. The species in this zone are not well used to extreme temperatures and long duration of dryness.
Some of the common organisms found in both spray and low tide zones are isopods and limpets.

Answer:
Explanation:
Model: Your model should visualize the details of your text. For each land formation feature and ocean-floor feature of your model, describe in detail the following:
The internal processes leading to the formation of the geologic feature.
The external processes that occur and their effect on Earth’s surface.
A geographic scale to show the relative size and extent of the land and ocean-floor features.
Conclusion: Your conclusion will compare and contrast the formation of land and ocean-floor features. Describe how the constructive forces and destructive forces differ in time when creating these features.
Resources: List each source consulted, including those of all images and diagrams. Remember to use only reliable resources.
