Expert Answer
The rise and fall of the ocean water twice in a day is called a tide. During high tide water rises to its highest level while during low tide, it falls to its lowest level. Tides are caused due to the strong gravitational pull exerted by the Sun and the Moon on the surface of the Earth.
Some importance of tides are:
High tides help in navigation. Since high tides raise the water level close to the shore, the ships can arrive into the harbour easily.
High tides also help in fishing. This is because many fishes come to the shore during high tide.
