READING
Directions (For Q. No. 5 and 6) : Read the passage carefully and answer the questions
that follow.
The moon’s role in causing tides is much more high and important than that of the sun.
The reason is that the moon enjoys more proximity to the earth than the sun. As such,
its force of attraction is stronger than that of the sun in attracting the surface water.
Tides are of immense importance. In trade, navigation and fishing, tides are very useful.
During the high tide, the water depth near the coast goes up and helps big ships to reach
the ports. Kandla port in Gujarat and Diamond Harbour in West Bengal owe their very
existence to the tides only.
Tides also keep the harbours clear of refuse and mud brought down by rivers and
thus they do not allow the harbours to be silted. Commonly, the tidal rivers are
navigable. For the purpose of generating electricity, tidal waves are harnessed.
Tides do not allow the sea water to be frozen by keeping the sea water in motion.
Tides are also made use of by the fishermen for sailing into the sea and returning
to the harbour. In the countries like Canada, U.K., France and Japan, tidal power
stations are set up.
