Answer to Problem 31A
Correct Answer:
Option (C) The communities are stratified from high tide and low tide line.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (C) The communities are stratified from high tide and low tide line. The intermediate tide zones have both low tide and high tides zone. Due to presence of both type of zone, the communities in the intermediate zone the communities in this zone are divided in high and low tides.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (A) The dominant low-energy community is likely to be an estuary. The intertidal zones do not have a mixing of fresh water. Hence, it is an incorrect answer.
Option (B) The communities are adapted to shifting sands due to incoming line. The low tides zones have low movements of the sand and the zones that experience high tides have an adaptation of sand shifting. Hence, it is not correct.
Option (D) The organisms in the community require dissolved oxygen. Some of the organism in the intertidal zones require more oxygen and some of them require less oxygen. Hence, it is an incorrect answer.
