Rocky shore report

WALT: paraphrase and summarise information

The Rocky Shore is one of the most commonly populated shores around the coast of New Zealand. It shares a lot of zones for its various creatures. Some of the zones are known as inter-tidal/littoral zone, splash zone and the sub-tidal zone. The supra-tidal/ splash zone is above the high tide line and is usually covered by water only during weather like rain or storms and extremely high tides because this is the only time the ocean is filled enough to go over the splash zone. It's given this name due to usually being slightly splashed by the tide and is moistened by the spray of the falling waves. The Inter-tidal zone is the largest zone in the rocky shore. The inter-tidal zone is the area of the water shoreline that is above the water at low tide, and covered with seawater at high tide. It’s usually covered with marine life that lies between the high and low tide lines. The High tide is the area that includes many different types of life including rocky cliffs, sandy beaches and wetlands. The middle tide zone area is either exposed to air or covered in water for equal amounts of time. The low inter-tidal zone borders on the shallow sub-tidal zone, and is only above water at the lowest of low tides but is mostly covered in water due to being at the very bottom tide zone of the inter-tidal zone. The lowest zone of the rocky shore is called the Sub-tidal zone lying at the very bottom between one-hundred and fifty to three hundred metres giving it placed as the lowest and last zone. A lot of plants and animal life live here including different types of oysters, star fish, crabs anemones live in the sub littoral zone. They are given sunlight and food, but like most places there are also many predators. The Rocky Shore is a large shore that is usually full with incredible sea life civilisations and habitats with normally three zones that includes the Splash zones which commonly is dry but can rarely get wet. The inter-tidal zone which is in the middle filled with three tides and the sub-tidal zone which lies at the very bottom. They are also filled with plants and life which gives it a nice populated shore that is an interesting place to visit.

Task description: We had to write a report about the rocky shore in each box  then posting it on to our blog.
