In a rocky coastal environment, organisms are exposed to air for the longest period of time in the splash zone. This zone is typically above the high tide line and is only occasionally wet from waves splashing up or heavy rain. In contrast, the lower zone and upper zone (the intertidal zone) are submerged more frequently during high tides.
In which zone along a rocky coast are organisms exposed (out of the water) for the longest period of time?
1)splash zone
2)lower one
3)upper zone
