The Rocky Shore


The Rocky shore is an intertidal habitat common to New Zealand's coasts.The Rocky Shore has many different zones such as the Splash zone, Subtidal zone, and the intertidal zone.It is an amazing place full of plant life, amazing different creatures, and wildlife. 

As I said before the Rocky Shore has a lot of zones and the first zone is the splash / supratidal zone. This zone is above high tide but still gets splashed by the waves. The creatures that live in this zone are exposed to temperatures from high temperatures because of the sun to cold temperatures caused by the tide. 

The next zone is called the intertidal or littoral zone is between the high and low tide. The plants and animals that live in this zone are required to survive different changes in environment. 

Next is the subtidal or sublittoral zone is a zone which is directly below the intertidal zone. The sublittoral zone is permanently covered in water. The part sub in the word sublittoral means under kind of like a submarine. 

The Rocky Shore is an intertidal habitat for lots of plants and creatures. The Rocky Shore has many different zones including the intertidal zone, Subtidal or Sublitoral, and Supratidal or Splash zone. The rocky shore is a beautiful place to visit so please visit some time.
