Exploring Rocky Shore Habitats: Factors Affecting Organism Distribution

Join Annie Russell School of Marine Science and Technology for an exploration of how organisms adapt to rocky shore environments. Learn about biotic and abiotic factors influencing distribution, and observe specific examples of organism adaptations. Discover the impact of polar oceans, coral reefs, and deep sea environments on rocky shores at Cullercoats.

  1. Rocky Shore Habitats Annie Russell

  2. School of Marine Science and Technology

  3. Aims for today • What are the factors that affect the distribution of an organism on the rocky shore? • How have the organisms become adapted to the rocky shore? • From your observations of the organisms on the rocky shore give specific examples of how the organisms observed have adapted to survive the rocky shore environment.

  4. Polar oceans Coral reef Marine habitats Rocky Shores Deep sea oceans Open oceans

  5. How does all this affect the Rocky shore at cullercoats?

  6. Rocky Shore Habitat What are the factors that affect the distribution of an organism on the rocky shore?

  7. Biotic and Abiotic factors Distinguish between Biotic and Abiotic factors. The biotic factors are the influences that result from the activities of living organisms in the community eg. competition Abiotic (physical factors) are the influences of the non-living part of the community e.g.. Climate
