In summer high-shore, it will lift their shell on the shore to reduce contact from the hot, rocky surface.
在夏季的上潮帶海岸，濱螺會將牠們的殼抬起，以減少與炙熱的岩石表面接觸
The other periwinkle will climb and stack themselves from the bottom one’s back and form a “tower” to reduce their body temperatures, this behaviour is known as “towering”.
濱螺會由下而上爬上其他濱螺，堆疊成「螺塔」來降低體溫，這種行為被稱為"towering"（意指聳立）
