Question

In what zone is the ability to burrow and sustain changes in temperature and salinity important for an organisms' survival?

A.Middle intertidal zone
B.Sublittoral zone
C.High littoral zone
D.Low intertidal zone

Answer 1

The correct option is C.

Living organisms that live in the littoral zones in the ocean are used to frequent changes in temperature and in the salinity of the ocean water. For an organism to survive in this environment, it needs to have adaptive features that will increase its survival. The littoral zone is divided into three zones, which are high, middle and lower littoral zones. Organisms living in high littoral zone have adaptive features that make them more adapted to desiccation due to the long hours of sunlight to which they are exposed. The organisms are usually exposed directly to the air or they can be enclosed in burrows.
