Short Answer Type Question:

How are high tides important?

Answer 1

High tides are important for various reasons:

• They help in navigation
• The rise of the water level close to the shores. This helps the ships to arrive at the harbour more easily.
• The high tides also help in fishing. Much more fish come closer to the shore during the high. This enables the fisherman to get a plentiful catch.
• The rise and fall of water due to tides is being used to generate electricity in some places.
