The area of shoreline that is alternately exposed and submerged is the? a. neritic zone b. intertidal zone c. benthic zone d. oceanic zone .

The correct answer is option B. intertidal zone.

Explanation:

The intertidal zones are all those in which the levels of maximum tides and minims are found. That is, any place where the land and the ocean meet.

It has four physical divisions:

Spray zone: Only submerges when very high tides or very strong storms occur. High intertidal zone: Most of the time it remains dry, but during too high tides, it floods. It has on it, marine life that clings when strong waves hit. Low intertidal zone: It has a great marine life because it spends most of the time sunk underwater, unless there is a very low tide. Middle intertidal zone: It is usually inhabited by starfish and plants and the tides go down and flow twice a day.

The marine life of this area depends on the resistance that the creatures that inhabit it may have. Either because of the predators that may come from below, or the great waves that can tear them from where they are.

Also very large marine animals such as seals take advantage of this area to fish their food at high tide. And during low tide, it is ideal for birds to feed.
