There are many important practical reasons - but one of the most important is so that you know when the low tide is so that you can most efficiently dig clams. Oh - also there may be some importance if you are a captain of an ocean-going ship that is exceedingly tall that needs to enter/exit a harbor that has a low bridge or that needs to enter/exit ports such as Portland, OR. USA. If you're an engineer responsible for designing a sea-wall or dike, tides in combination with storm surge estimates will be very critical in creating a good and safe design. These are but a few reasons - there are many more.

∙ 7y agothe uses of tides are
1) tides clean beaches of shores by clearing up sand and litter that may be
harmful
2)tides make it easy for ships to get in or out of harbours which are not deep.
3) tides help fishermen to catch more fish easily..

And because the water flows in different directions (flood and edd tides) and changes direction (often at, but always with respect to) high and low water.

When boating on coastal waters it is important to be aware of the tides. What can tides cause?
The gravity of the Moon, and to a lesser extent the Sun, causes tides.
How do the moon and tides relate?
The moon's gravitational pull creates the tides.
Is the moon a satelllite of earth?
It is indeed, and an extremely important satellite at that for its effect on the tides and the seasons.
What are the types of tides?
Spring tides, when the Moon is new or full, and neap tides when the Moon is at the 1st or 3rd quarters.
What causes earth to have tides?
The Moon is the cause for tides rising and falling
Are tides importantwhy?
Of course tides are important. Tides are influenced by the moon, and are important in determining the life cycles of many of the oceanic creatures. Tides will take away the old and bring in the new!
Why is the moon important to us?
The Moon is largely important for the tides. The Sun would still make tides, but they would be smaller. Also, scientists say that the Moon stabilizes the Earth's axial tilt, thus stabilizing Earth's climate.
Do changing tides affect the phases of the moon?
No, the moon affects the tides, but the tides do not affect the moon.
How do you know that there is a correlation between the phases of the moon and the tides on earth?
By new and full moon
What is important about gravity in relation to the moon?
Perhaps the most important thing about gravity and the moon is that the gravitational force of the moon creates the tides on the oceans of Earth.
When boating on coastal waters it is important to be aware of the tides. What can tides cause?
The gravity of the Moon, and to a lesser extent the Sun, causes tides.
What are the effects of the moon on the earths tides?
what are the effects of tides The moon effects the tides making them either high or low tides.
How do the moon and tides relate?
The moon's gravitational pull creates the tides.
Is the moon a satelllite of earth?
It is indeed, and an extremely important satellite at that for its effect on the tides and the seasons.
Are tides influenced by the moon or gravitation?
It's infulenced by Tidal Forces. The Moon mainly effects tides because they have strong tidal forces due to the fact that it is the closest moon or planet (as far as we know) to the Earth.
What function does the Moon serve?
it provides tides i know because im a scientist
What are the tides during a full moon?
Tides are definitely affected by the position of the moon and the sun. When the moon is full, the tides tends to spring higher up, and thus these are called "spring tides."
