Discuss the interactions
among living things and
non-living things in estuaries
and intertidal zones
(S5LT - IIh – 8)
Estuary
An estuary is an area where
a freshwater river or stream
meets the ocean.
WAVES
refer to the movement of the surface
of the water. These are strong forces
that organisms must learn to live with.
Kelp, a kind of algae, has a strong
root-like structure that attaches itself to
rocks to keep it from being carried
away by the waves.
SALINITY
refers to the amount of salt water.
Mangroves and blue crabs have
adjusted well to the constantly
changing salinity of water due to the
continuous flow of freshwater and
saltwater to the estuary.
SALINITY
Since blue crabs can move, their life
cycle begins from high salinity water
moving upstream towards a river,
which has a low salinity, where they
grow as adults.
TEMPERATURE
refers to the level of hotness and coldness
of water. It changes because of the tides
and amount of sunlight. Some organisms
use plants like mangroves to keep
themselves hidden from direct sunlight
or away from the coldness of the water.
TEMPERATURE
Since the intertidal zones and estuaries
are shallow as compared to the seas, they
are also conducive for photosynthesis to
take place. Algae, seaweeds, sea
grasses, and other marine plants
depend on the amount of sunlight
that they receive in the estuaries.
TYPE OF SOIL
The types of soil differ in the estuaries
depending on the strength of waves and
the kind of rock present in the area. Some
areas are full of rocks, sand, pebbles, or
clay. Since nutrients are found in the soil,
these types of soil influence the kind of
living things that live in these ecosystems.
