The document discusses estuaries and intertidal zones, including what habitats and factors can be found in them. It describes estuaries as bodies of brackish water where fresh and salt water mix near the coast. The intertidal zone is the area between high and low tide that is home to many plants, animals, and microorganisms like coral reefs and mangrove forests. Biotic factors include living organisms, and abiotic factors are non-living things like temperature, salinity, and sunlight.

1.Discuss estuaries and intertidal zones?
2.What are the different habitats and factors
that can be found in estuaries and intertidal
zone?
3. Describes the different instructions that
can takes place in the estuaries and intertidal
zone?
Estuaries- “nurseries of the seas”
-it is a body of brackish
water near the coast where fresh water from
rivers and stream flows into the oceans and
mixes with salt water.
-it may be a lagoon, bay or
harbor.
Intertidal Zone- it is area where land meets the
sea between high and low tide zone.
-it composed of all plants, animals,
and micro organisms living in it. These
includes coral reefs teaming with many corals
with different kind of fishes.
Biotic and Abiotic Factors
Biotic Factors- these are living
organisms that can affect an ecosystem.
-these many include
coral reefs, mangrove forest, crabs,
birds.
Set of Organisms
Producer – organisms that can manufacture
their own food.
Consumer- organisms that can get energy by
feeding on plants and other consumers.
Decomposer- organisms that can feed on
deed animals and waste.
Abiotic Factors
-these are non-living thing factor that can
affect an ecosystem.
-these may include waves, temperatures,
salinity, amount of sunlight and type of
soil
