Spring Tides When the moon is full or new, the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are combined. At these times, the high tides are very high and the low tides are very low. This is known as a spring high tide. Spring tides are especially strong tides (they do not have anything to do with the season Spring). They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line. The gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun both contribute to the tides. Spring tides occur during the full moon and the new moon.
Neap Tides During the moon's quarter phases the sun and moon work at right angles, causing the bulges to cancel each other. The result is a smaller difference between high and low tides and is known as a neap tide. Neap tides are especially weak tides. They occur when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another (with respect to the Earth). Neap tides occur during quarter moons.

What are the meaning of neap lid es from spring lid es?
I think you mean tides. Neap tide is the smallest difference high-low tide and spring tide is the largest.
What are different kinds of tide?
you have a high tide and low tide, tides are affected by the Moon. There is also something called Neap tide and Spring tide. Spring tide occurs in spring and sometime throughout the year. Neap tide is when there is a higher low tide and a lower low tide. Spring tide is when there is a higher low tide and lower high tide
The daily tidal range is greatest during which tide?
neap tidespring tide
Differentiate waves and tides and differentiate neap tide and spring tide?
Wave is a movement in the water surface under vertical direction and is caused by wind. The stronger the wind is, so is the wave. Tide is a natural phenomenon, a regular and periodical oscillation of water. In theory, in terms of physical matter, tide is caused by the gravitational force of the moon and certainly by that of the sun as well. Neap tide is weak tide occurring when the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are perpendiculare to one another. It occurs during quarter moons. Spring tide is strong time occurring when the earth, the sun and the moon are in a line. It occurs in the full and new moon.
Name of Tide after first and third quarter?
The name of the third quarter tide is called a neap tide. They are Spring tides that occur when the Sun and Moon line up.

How many spring and neap tide occur in a lunar month?
TWICE.
