The benefits of tides are as follows:
1. Tides are the source of energy because energy can be generated from the water rising up and falling down. Tidal energy is used in France and Japan.
2. The world’s biggest harbours are located far from the sea at the mouth of the river (London, Kolkata etc). Ships can come in along with tidal water.
3. Fishing sailors go for fishing in open sea with the tide, and return back to the safe coast with the help of ebb.
4. The return wave of tide takes away all the filth of towns settled on the coast into the sea.
5. The return wave of tide leaves various maritime objects (like – shells, snails etc.) on the coast.
6. Due to the tide, the sea water remains dynamic and clean and the water does not stagnate.
