Sandy Beaches | Areas with gentle slope, no elevation and no cliffs. Low Biodiversity. |
The Littoral Zone | Same thing as the intertidal zone |
Reasons why there is low Biodiversity at a Sandy beach | No place to hide from predators, no substrate to attach to, must be able to survive on land |
Clams Cockles and Coquinas | use a muscular foot to bury themselves and a siphon to reach up through the sand to feed. |
Digging Burrows; filtering sand to get nutriton | Adaptations organisms at the beach have to survive |
Reptiles and Birds | Nest on the Sandy Beach |
Depositional Coasts | Places where sand is deposited creating a Sandy Beach |
Sand | Can come from anywhere and be transported and deposited on a Sandy beach |
