Echogenicity reflects the different tissue interactions with ultrasound. Tissue echogenicity ranges from near sonotransparent as encountered in certain constituents of the body, notably water, to the highest echogenicity, produced by air(present in the bowel). On gray scale imaging, low echogenicity, as that of water, is commonly depicted in black, while high echogenicity appears in white. 1, record 1, English, - echogenicity

Rocky shores... are characterized by the life that lives in the intertidal zone – the area between the high tide and low tide water levels. Life on rocky shores is tough. It is dominated by the need to deal with very high wave energy, regular exposure to the air/sun, and interactions between these two physical stressors and the strong biological pressure applied by voracious intertidal predators. 2, record 2, English, - rocky%20shore
