The area of shoreline that is alternately exposed and submerged is the? a. neritic zone b. intertidal zone c. benthic zone d. oceanic zone .

The correct answer is option B. intertidal zone.

Explanation:

The intertidal zones are all those in which the levels of maximum tides and minims are found. That is, any place where the land and the ocean meet.

It has four physical divisions:

The marine life of this area depends on the resistance that the creatures that inhabit it may have. Either because of the predators that may come from below, or the great waves that can tear them from where they are.

Also very large marine animals such as seals take advantage of this area to fish their food at high tide. And during low tide, it is ideal for birds to feed.

true. earthquakes are felt whenever there is a slip around a fault in the rocks below the earth. this reorientation of faults create sesmic waves and is known as earthquake, the severity of which is measured in richter scale. these are more prominent in hilly regions as the rocks usually form faults to balance the pressures on it.
