Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The beach zone typically spans from several meters above the high tide line to several meters below the low tide line. This includes the area where waves break, as well as the intertidal zone where organisms such as crabs and clams can be found. Option A is incorrect because it only includes the area between high and low spring tides, which does not give a complete picture of the beach zone. Option C is incorrect because neap tides have a smaller difference between high and low tides, so the beach zone would be narrower than if we considered spring tides. Option D is incorrect because it mixes the high and low tides from different types of tides (spring vs. neap), which would not accurately represent the beach zone.
