the moon is at new or full moon phases
in other words between earth and sun, or 'behind' earth.
This is because the gravitational pull works with the sun.

Does high tides occur when the moon is at perigee?
Yes
The smallest high tides occur when the Moon phase is?
The higher "spring" tides occur at the new and full Moon, while the lower "neap" tides occur at the first and third quarter Moons.
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
Spring tides are unusually high and unusually low tides that occur when the moon earth and sun are all in line - during which moon phases do spring tides occur?
The sun and the moon's gravity pull in the same direction .
What is the difference between spring tide and neap tide?
Spring tides are formed by the constructive interference of bulges created by the moon and sun. Spring tides occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned. Neap tides are formed by the destructive interference of bulges created by the moon and sun. Neap tides occur when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align to make a right angle. Spring tides are therefore larger than neap tides, new moons and full moons occur in the spring tide but the 1st qauter of the moon and 3rd quarter of the moon occur in neap tides... tupac
What phase of the moon when have a very high tides occur?
spring tides
Does high tides occur when the moon is at perigee?
Yes
The smallest high tides occur when the Moon phase is?
The higher "spring" tides occur at the new and full Moon, while the lower "neap" tides occur at the first and third quarter Moons.
Does high ocean tides occur when the moon is at perigee?
Yes
When do regular low and high tides occur?
low tides happen when the moon is not in a straight line and make an right angle and high tides is when the moon earth and sun are in a straight line
Does the time that the moon rises and sets have anything to do with the time that high tides and low tides occur?
yes

When do high tides come about?
High tides occur when the water is at its highest. Tides are caused by the combined effects of the rotation of the earth and the gravitational forces of the sun and the moon.

What causes high and low tides to occur on earth?
the gravitational pull of the moon
Tide are especially high or low when the moon is full or new?
in England we call them spring tides and they occur whenever there is a full moon.
