Write the importance of tides |
| Answer» \xa0The importance of tides are:\xa0\xa0\tThey can cause a change in landforms of the Earth. While they can destroy coastlines, they also help in the formation of creeks and inlets.\t\xa0\t\tStrong tides help in the building of lower flood plains of rivers. These are very fertile.\t\xa0\t\tSince the debris is swept away by tides, they help to keep the\xa0harbours\xa0clean.\t\xa0\t\tIn cold countries, tides bring in salt water to the shore and their continuous movement prevents the\xa0harbour\xa0from becoming ice bound.\t\xa0\t\tThe low lying areas of the sea coast during high tides trap water which is used for the manufacturing of salt. In India, along the west coast, salt is manufactured in this manner.\t\xa0\t\tThe alternate rise and fall of the tides help the fisherman to sail out and return back to the coast with the tides.\t\xa0\t\tTidal energy is fast becoming an important non conventional source of energy. They are used in the production of electricity along the Gulf of Kutch and in the state of Gujarat.\t\xa0\t\xa0 | |
