1. What are rocky shores? They are big rocks that are exposed at low tide 2. How are organisms on a rocky shore distributed? By the horizontal zones that relate to the tolerance of the species to either exposure to air or under water. 3. What three types of bedrock are typically found in a rocky shore ecosystem? Rocky shores‚ sandy shores‚ and salt marsh 4. What are the different zones of the rocky shore? Upper = splash‚ middle = littoral‚ lower = sub littoral. 5. What plants are found in each

outside. THE AIM OF THIS PARTICULAR FIELD TRIP : 1. To understand and learn the various types of basic field work techniques after the self-experience during the field trip. 2. To investigate and study the ecological environment of the rocky shore habitat. 3. To find out the major organisms present and their adaptations to the environment. 4. To find out the effect of the main physical factors on the distribution of organisms and the interrelationships existing among organisms.

Rocky Shore Ecosystems- Point Cartwright Nicolas Cuny 11B Mr. Nisbett Due Date: 03/09/2010 Introduction: On the 23rd of August‚ the three biology classes or grade 11 at Redlands College visited the rocky shore ecosystems at Point Cartwright in Queensland. Two different types of rocky shore ecosystem were examined‚ the rock pool area‚ and the boulder area. We first examined areas within the rock pool area. The rock pool area has several specific features

Mangrove Distribution 4. Rocky Shore Habitat Background Information: Lime Cay‚ the man islet of the Port Royal Cays‚ located 17 degrees north and 76 degrees west‚ is one of the many cays in Jamaica. By definition‚ a cay is a small low elevated sandy island formed on the surface

1.0 Introduction Last term the Biology and Geography class went to Hastings Point‚ New South Wales to visit three ecosystems found in the area‚ such as- mangroves‚ sand dunes and rocky shores. Hasting Points is the smallest coastal settlement of Tweed Shire. The hamlet is nestled between the ocean on its east and a delicate estuary on its west. This report will focus on the unique coastal habitats of Hasting Points and the various issues that challenge the sustainability of mangroves surrounding

This destination is home to a magnificent rocky shore perfectly suited for a vast majority and wide range of marine wildlife. The rocky shore has a wide spread of both biotic and abiotic factors which provides a suitable ecosystem for all wildlife but unfortunately this unindustrialized location is becoming over developed. This takes a toll

largest systems on the planet‚ covering over 70 percent of the Earth’s surface and constituting over 99 percent of the living space on the planet (area x depth). These vast ecosystems are composed of many different habitats which extend from the near shore regions to continental shelves and the deep ocean. They are home to millions of species and provide food‚ income‚ protection‚ and many other vital ecosystem services to billions of people around the world. ECOLOGICAL ADVANTAGES Climate moderation
