Question

Which of the following biomes is best characterized as an area that forms the narrow band along the coast that experiences a range of environmental conditions (including daily changes in sunlight, temperature, and water)

Answer 1

Answer: intertidal zones.

Explanation:The intertidal zone is the area where the ocean meets the land between high and low tides. A tide pool within Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Intertidal zones exist anywhere the ocean meets the land, from steep, rocky ledges to long, sloping sandy beaches and mudflats that can extend for hundreds of meters.

Answer 2

The correct response is intertidal zones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intertidal zones are those biomes that are found anywhere the ocean meets the land. They can be extremely varied because they can be steep, rocky cliff ledges but also gradual sandy beaches to marshes and mudflats that can support an impressive array of specific wildlife. There are four physical subdivisions within the intertidal zones: high, middle, and low, as well as the spray zone. High is the tidal zone that only floods at high tide, so it is dry for most of the day. The low intertidal zone is virtually always covered with water except with the rare and more extreme tidal variations.
