Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The intertidal zone is the area of shore between the high tide and low tide marks. This zone is affected by both marine and terrestrial environments and is therefore considered to be the boundary between them. The benthic zone refers to the ocean floor, the photic zone is the layer of the ocean where sunlight can penetrate and support photosynthesis, and the pelagic zone refers to the open ocean water that lies above the ocean floor. None of these zones necessarily form the boundary between marine and terrestrial environments.
