Tidal phenomena, a ubiquitous spectacle along coastlines, have captivated human curiosity for centuries. It can be involved in some small activities like fishing on the sea. Also, some big activities like the prediction of the position of the Earth should take the consideration of tides. This paper is aimed to have a summary of the formation and the principles of tides. Then, according to the essential theory, some applications are discussed based on the fields of astrology, geography, and clean energy. The principles of these applications are summarized and concluded into some useful information. The information that people derive from tides is a significant amount which can help humans make more efficient methods for the prediction of some phenomena like earthquakes and the movement of moons. As a result, The value of tides is still a potential topic that can help human progress in human beings.
