rocky shore habitat


Today i'm going to be telling you facts about the  splash zone high zone middle zone and low zone of the rocky shore.

Splash Zone 

the splash zone is the top zone and is mostly where all the waves come crashing onto the rocky shore. Often with the force of the waves the waves could knock people over . The sea creatures that are found in the splash zone are crabs, snails, and barnacles large mammals, hard shelled , long period of heat can expose the animal.

High Zone

the high zone is similar to the splash zone, the animals in this area have to get used to the waves and stay in the sun for long but not as much as the splash zone. the animals that are in the high zone are limpets crabs and cushioned star fish.

Mid zone

this zone is covered in water and not covered in water twice a day because of the tides coming in and out. animals in this zone are made to breath in water and not in water. the animals that are here are bigger star fish chitons crabs and anemones
