I googled “abiotic intertidal” and came up with three sources on the first page: 1. Desiccation (drying out) 2. Immersion 3. Temperature 4. Light 5. Salinity 6. Wave Action “These variables included sampling location, wave height, water column height, water temperature, salinity and cloud cover”. ” The abiotic factors such as waves, tides, and temperature change according to weather patterns. Extreme weather, like storms, takes everyday stresses and multiplies them. Organisms already need to deal with pounding waves, temperature changes in tides pools due to receding tides and changing water levels between tides.

In the Rocky Intertidal zone major components in the environment that play a significant role are the following: tides, waves, sunlight, and even factors like the distribu
