When does the neap tides occurs on the earth?
a neap tide occurs when the moon is either 1st or 3rd quarter phase.
When the sun the moon and earth form a right angle we have tides.?
An Neap Tide occurs -**$$**
What occurs on the side of Earth that is closest to the moon and on the opposite side of earth?
Its day on the other side. Both sides have high tides while the other two has low tides.
What is a spring tide and a neap tides?
Neap tide occurs when the moon, earth, and sun are making a right angle.Spring tide occurs when they are in a straight line.Spring tide is the highest tideNeap Tide is when the tide is the lowestA spring tide is occurs when the moon is in alignment with the earth and sun at the same time. This happens during the new moon and full moon phases. When a spring tide occurs, the low tides are REALLY low and the high tides are VERY high.A neap tide is the exact opposite...the difference in tides is not as distinguishable. The high tides are fairly low and the low tides are not too low. This occurs when the moon is in its first or third (last) quarter phases (not in alignment with the sun).During the full moon and new moon days, the sun, the earth and the moon are in the same line and the tides are highest. These tides are called spring tides. But when yhe moon is in its first and last quarter, the ocean waters get drawn in diagonally opposite directions by the gravitational pull of the sun and the earth resulting in low tides. These tides are called neap tides.
Why to tides occur?
♥.BECAUSE OF THE GRAVITATIONAL PULL OF THE MOON THAT OCCURS AS IT MOVES AROUND THE EARTH.♥
What causes the highest of high tides and the lowest of low tides to occur?
The moon cycle and it is called Spring Tides, this occurs during a full moon and the new moon when the moon and the sun are in alignment with the earth
Does the earth have tides?
Yes the earth has tides
Why aren't high ocean tides exactly 12 hours apart?
This occurs because the Earth is tilted on an axis.
Do tides control the way the earth spins?
Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.Yes, the tides gradually slow Earth's rotation.
What occurs when sun moon and earth are at a 90 degree angle?
When the Sun, Moon and Earth are roughly lined up, there are higher-than-average "spring" tides in Earth's oceans. When the Sun, Moon and Earth are at right angles, they cause "neap" tides which are lower than average.
What combination of factors produces neap tides?
A neap tide occurs when the sun and Earth make a 90 degree angle with each other. It also occurs when Earth makes a 90 degree angle with the moon.
How many tides does earth have everyday?
Earth has a total of 4 tides a day 2 high tides and 2 low tides.
