tides can affect the beach by making it longer and spreading the beach out more. it can also, when mixed with heavy rains, cause a flood to happen.

∙ 15y agoYes actually tides help keep water clean because when we have high tides the make sand dooms. When we have high winds or a wind storm these's dooms help keep garbage out of the water. This means tides help them selves!!!

∙ 7y agoYes. Tsunamis can help spread around nutrients from the sea out into land that wouldn't have gotten there any other way. They can also get rid of human activity in areas, this can create a better chance for the environment to re-grow plants and habitats for animals.

Point One: NO. Land plants do not thrive in brine! If you trouble to understand basic physical geography you would realise that the normal flow of water is from uplands down-hill to the sea, carrying nutrients from the hills to the plants on the plains. And though that water starts from the sea it is fresh (rain or snow), distilled by the sun's heat.
Point Two: are you really that callous? You do raise the point that much of the worst effects of recent tsunamis are due to unthinking tourist development placing hotels etc in areas once given some natural protection by coastal swamps, but your words suggest humanity has little worth for you.

∙ 11y agoTidal energy generally uses movable barrages or dams across the mouths of rivers, where there is room for large amounts of water to be held back from the high tide. This may cause problems for the movements of fish, but there should not be much more than that. The water held back is no higher than the normal tides.

∙ 13y agoEnergy from the movement of the tides can be used to generate electricity. This is a clean green form of energy as it does not release any carbon dioxide, a dangerous greenhouse gas.

Name one way ocean waves can be helpful?
i think for tidal power (Rotech Tidal turbine), inwitch the motion of the waves rotate the turbine. the turbine is connected to a generator witch generates power.
What are four examples of Renewable Resorces?
Solar Energy Tidal Power Geothermal Energy Wind Power
How does erosion help the environment?
erosion can never help the environment indeed it affects environment
Why do some environmental groups oppose tidal energy?
Environmental groups do not necessarily oppose use of tidal energy, but in some cases they oppose the location that is proposed to make use of the energy. The opposition is usually based on negative effects it would have on wildlife and the environment.
How does reducing resources help the environment?
Reducing energy can help prevent fossil fuels which really helps the environment!
Which is better for the environment - coal or tidal power?
Tidal power. Coal has a massive effect on the environment because burning it releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which is causing global warming. Tidal power has minimal impact on the environment.
Does tidal power have any accidents?
what accidents may occur with tidal power
Does Australia use tidal power?
No, and there are no proposals for tidal power in Australia. For more information on the status of tidal power in Australia, see the related link.
Pros an cons of tidal and hydroelectric?
The benefits of Tidal power begins with it as a renewable resource. Gravitational fields and natural earth and astronomical occurrences will continue to create tides Since it is not dependent on fossil fuels, Tidal power is green and does not appear to cause damage to the environment. Tides are also highly predictable. On the negative side, no studies have been completed to definitively prove that Tidal power is not environmentally damaging. Plants will need to be constructed close to land and it is expensive. Hydroelectric power, like Tidal power is renewable, flexible and safe. However, it poses risks to the environment such as damage to fish. It is also expensive and could be adversely affected by environmental factors such as drought. There are also a limited number of needed reservoirs available.
How does Tidal Energy affect the environment?
It doesnt have any affects on the environment
Is tidal power a viable choice for Newark?

Where is the world first tidal power plant?
The largest tidal power station in the world is the Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station. It is located in South Korea.
How does Hydro power help the environment?
yes.
What is the history of tidal energy?
tidal energy is created by turbines that does make tidal power
Do citezens of Maine use tidal power in Maine?
We don't use tidal power in Maine because we don't have any tidal barrages in Maine.
What are the positive affects tidal energy do for the environment?
tidal energy is good because it is a renewable source that doesn't pollute the environment. It is often used to make electricity.
Is tidal power expensive to locate?
Tidal power is incredibly expensive, moreso than wind or solar
