The intertidal zone is mostly on rocky coastlines, swamps, or tide pools. Since this zone is above water during low tide its depth is very dependent on the tides.]]> 2019-01-07 03:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/20kemcnamara/h5v9fgnno5vd/wish/317729378 20kemcnamara https://padlet.com/20kemcnamara/h5v9fgnno5vd/wish/317730074 The Common starfish is not very large and it uses suction to stay plated to the rocks. The suction cups on its limbs can also be used to open clams and oysters. Since the starfish are very exposed especially to humans they are able to grow back their limbs because most of the vital organs are held in the arms. This may not protect them from harm but it helps them with surviving harm.]]> 2019-01-07 03:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/20kemcnamara/h5v9fgnno5vd/wish/317730074 20kemcnamara https://padlet.com/20kemcnamara/h5v9fgnno5vd/wish/317730090 The Periwinkle has a hard shell because of where it lives. The rocks are very hard and many time snails can fall or be moved by an external force. Their shells need to be able to handle the rocks and not crack]]> 2019-01-07 03:43:05 UTC https://padlet.com/20kemcnamara/h5v9fgnno5vd/wish/317730090 20kemcnamara https://padlet.com/20kemcnamara/h5v9fgnno5vd/wish/317730399 The Subtidal zone is deeper and rarely is above water, some occasions it will show on a full moon and extremely low tides. The depth of the subtidal zone is also dependent on the change is tides but for the most part it is 200 meters deep.
