Question

Small pools of water with ocean life.

One day, while walking along the coast, you encounter the area pictured here. You notice that most of the water is gone at low tide and that an abundance of life lives in this area.

To which ocean zone does this area belong?

intertidal zone
open-ocean zone
neritic zone
estuary zone

Answer 1

Intertidal zone

Reason: tide pools and areas exposed at low tide are characteristic of the intertidal (littoral) zone — the shore area between high and low tide where many organisms live.
