The shoreline of the ocean contains communities that are layered depending on how long they are submerged by tides?

The shoreline of the ocean features distinct ecological zones that are organized by tidal exposure, often referred to as intertidal zones. These zones include the supralittoral (above high tide), littoral (between high and low tide), and sublittoral (below low tide) areas. Each zone supports unique communities of plants and animals adapted to varying levels of tidal immersion and exposure. This layering creates a dynamic ecosystem with diverse species interactions and adaptations.
