Organisms burrow beneath the sediment to stay hidden from predators but with obvious disadvantages.]]> 2019-04-30 16:50:04 UTC https://padlet.com/20henningerba/143qibszby0v/wish/355526759 20henningerba https://padlet.com/20henningerba/143qibszby0v/wish/355526877 The food web may begin with a producer (sea grass). This will then be eaten by a small crustacean such as a sand flea or shrimp. A larger crustacean or fish may come and eat these which will finally be eaten by a top predator such as a bird.]]> 2019-04-30 16:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/20henningerba/143qibszby0v/wish/355526877 20henningerba https://padlet.com/20henningerba/143qibszby0v/wish/355526920 Soft bottom dwellers rely on abiotic factors such as sediments and wave action. If a sediment is too rough or course than that organism may not want to burrow into it. Smaller organisms such as clams love to hide out in the clay or silt which is the only thing keeping them safe from predators. Also wind waves will always affect the sandy bottom constantly changing the terrain on the bottom]]> 2019-04-30 16:50:24 UTC https://padlet.com/20henningerba/143qibszby0v/wish/355526920 20henningerba https://padlet.com/20henningerba/143qibszby0v/wish/355527013 Includes all the unconsolidated substrate bottoms (Ex. mud, sand, granule pebbles, and various mixes of them). While there is limited zonation in soft bottom areas because many organisms burrow into the sediment it is seen in small amounts. deposit feeders, for instance, are known to exclude suspension eaters from their general location.]]> 2019-04-30 16:50:37 UTC https://padlet.com/20henningerba/143qibszby0v/wish/355527013 20henningerba https://padlet.com/20henningerba/143qibszby0v/wish/355527058 Because of the soft bottom it makes it very difficult for many plants to anchor to the ground. This results in less photosynthesis taking place and therefor requires energy from elsewhere such as phytoplankton drifting from other areas.]]> 2019-04-30 16:50:45 UTC https://padlet.com/20henningerba/143qibszby0v/wish/355527058 20henningerba https://padlet.com/20henningerba/143qibszby0v/wish/355527138 The Intertidal zone is the area where the sea meets the land between high and low tides.These zones can be anything from steep rocky ledges to smooth sand beaches, and even mudflats that stretches for hundreds of meters.]]> 2019-04-30 16:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/20henningerba/143qibszby0v/wish/355527138
