(Science 5, LM, pp. 84-100)
• Areas which are constantly exposed to changing tides are called intertidal
zones. This habitat is exposed to air during
low tide and covered with water during
high tide. Intertidal zones are home to
many kinds of marine animals and birds.
The daily changes in the tides play a major
role to the life of living things in this area.
Different organism in these habitats are
able to adapt to allow them to survive. The
daily changes in tides play the major role Figure 1: Intertidal zone

to the life of living things in this area.
• Estuaries are areas where seawater meets the fresh water from the rivers.
These areas are said to have brackish waters, which means they have a
mixture of saltwater and freshwater. This is also called as “nurseries of
the seas
