Rosario Tide Pool Visit Post Test Name: _________________ Teacher: _____________________ Date:____________ 1. Which factors make the intertidal zone an extreme environment to live in? Circle all that apply. a. The water levels of a creature’s home is intermittent b. Wave action can wash away or dislodge poorly suited organisms c. High exposure to sun affects the temperature of the intertidal zone d. Salinity is much higher in tide e. Tide pools are typically filled with freshwater runoff 2. At low tide, of these intertidal animals would be the most difficult to observe? a. A chiton that lives on rocks b. A mussel living in areas c. A crab that retreats into a burrow d. A limpet that under algae 3. In rocky intertidal zones, an observer probably could find the most filter-feeding barnacles in which area? a. silty pool b. mid-tidal ocean-facing rock c. part of a surf-swept cliff d. under seaweeds 4. What are some of the challenges that tide pool creatures face on a basis? Circle all that apply. a. Long exposures to air b. Salinity changes c. Predation d. UV exposure e. Mating 5. Periwinkles (Littorina) often dominate the upper rocky intertidal zone because they can breathe air and tolerate extreme conditions. True or False 6. Barnacles anchor themselves to the rock using a foot-like tissue with powerful suction. True or False 6. Rocky Intertidal species exposed to air cope with potential desiccation by all of these means except which one? a. Avoiding the hot sun by moving or growing in deep crevices b. Sealing up shells and over coverings to prevent water loss c. Having brown shells d. Having a tolerance for losing up to 90% of water
