how are Tides caused and how tide are useful for us
Answers
Tides are the cyclic rising and falling of Earth's ocean surface caused by the tidal forces of the Moon and the Sun acting on the Earth. Tides cause changes in the depth of the sea, and also produce oscillating currents known as tidal streams, making prediction of tides important for coastal navigation.
Uses of tide
Every natural occurring incident has some relevance and has impact on the living creatures. Some of the importance of tides is discussed below:
1. Fishing: Tides affect other aspects of oceanic life, including the reproductive activities of fish and ocean plants.
2. Tidal Zone Foods: Edible sea creatures like Crabs, mussels, snails, seaweed etc. inhabit the tidal zone and the most important point to be remembering that without the regular washing of the tides, these complex and abundant creatures would die and food resources would diminish.
3. Navigation: High tides help in navigation. They raise the water level close to the shores which helps the ships to arrive at the harbour more easily.
4. Weather: Tides stirred the ocean water that makes habitable climatic condition and balance the temperatures on the planets.
5. Tidal Energy: In every 24 hour, two high tides and two low tides occur. Hence, the fast movement of water during the inflow and outflow will provide a source of renewable energy to communities living along the coast.
Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction between the Earth and the Moon. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon.
TIDES USEFUL TO US IN FOLLOWING THINGS ⇨⇨⇨
✺IN FISHING ⇨ Tides move water, bringing water in and taking water out. so it help in fishing in us.
✺IN NAVIGATION ⇨
One of the main benefit of high tide is that it helps in navigation.When high tides occur the water level rises up ,That time is safe for the large ship to enter and leave the harbour.Large ship can easily sail in water when there is high tide.
