The intertidal zone is home to an abundance of aquatic organisms, like the barnacle, that can survive periods where they are not underwater. What type of tide would most likely decrease the abundance of aquatic organisms, and why?


Downwelling because it creates a cold environment that is not suitable for all aquatic organisms

Upwelling because it creates a cold environment that is not suitable for all aquatic organisms

Neap tide because it creates a small difference between high and low tides, so organisms are in stable environments

Spring tide because it creates a large difference between high and low tides, so the organisms are in extreme environments

Answer 1

Answer:

Spring tide (D)

Explanation:

If it changes the conditions greatly, the organism will suffer and/or perish.

Answer 2

Answer:

Spring tide because it creates a large difference between high and low tides, so the organisms are in extreme environments.

Explanation:

Tide is a concept that expresses the

 periodic change of  level of the sea, it is believed to be particularly influenced and caused by both the gravitational influence of the sun and the moon on the earth surface.

Intertidal however describes the shore markings of high waters and those of low tide mark.

Spring tide describes the periodic change of sea level that is characterized by the presence of new or full moon, it however is marked with the maximum range of tidal difference caused by the effects of the  gravitational influence of the sun and moon in their reinforced form.

The antonym of this tide is the neap tide.

A spring tide is most probably that type of tide that can decrease the abundance of aquatic organisms.
