The document discusses the tidal zone and the adaptations required for organisms living in each tidal zone. It describes four tidal zones from highest to lowest: the splash zone, high tide zone, middle tide zone, and low tide zone. Each zone requires unique adaptations depending on the amount of time organisms are exposed to air or submerged in water, such as adaptations to prevent drying out or withstand wave action in higher zones and adaptations to withstand full submersion in lower zones.
