B intertidal narrow strip of habitat and lowest tides that lies between the highest. C tides i recall effects of moon and sun ii challenges a desiccation stress dry out when exposed to air. Heat and salinity stress greater variation c restriction of feeding. D waves i waves bend as they approach ii challenges shore a abrasion particles in suspension1floating debrisscrape delicate structures. 0 drag can rip from location why rocky i rocky shores usually occur on uplifted or geologically young crush 1damage.
