Animals adapted for surviving waves, as well as sudden changes in water level and temperature, would be found in the
open ocean
wetlands
neritic zone
intertidal zone

intertidal zone

Explanation:

Intertidal zone is the transitional zone between the land and water body. This zone is susceptible to the low and high tides due to the effect of gravity, wind currents, temperature changes and due to water level. The intertidal zone is a shallow zone. The animals are adapted to survive in such unstable conditions.  

it restores trees to areas where they once grew.

when the displaced particles are perpendicular to the direction the wave travels, is called a transverse wave, whereas in longitudinal wave the displace practices are parallel to the direction of the wave.

in the given image:

first image shows - longitudinal wave

second image shows - transverse wave

third image shows - longitudinal wave
