What is the term for the lowest and highest tides on earth?
Spring tides
Are tides at their highest during neap tides?
No Neap tides are when the sun,earth, and moon form a right angle. This makes the the water on earth be pulled towards the sun and the moon. causing the tides to be very low. Spring tides are when tides are the highest because the earth,sun,and moon are in a line,causing very high tides.
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 face of the moon when spring tide?
Spring tides are especially strong tide(they do not have anything to do w/ the Season Spring). They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line. The Gravitational forces of the tides. Spring tides occur during the full moon and the new moon.For more information visit the link below.Thank you!
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 are the tides during a full moon?
Tides are definitely affected by the position of the moon and the sun. When the moon is full, the tides tends to spring higher up, and thus these are called "spring tides."
Does the earth's rotation speed up during tides?
no it just has to do with the position of the earth and moon
Can you relate the phases of the moon to the occurrence of high and low tides?
Only spring and neap tides. The normal day to day tides are brought about by the position of the moon in relation to the earth as the earth rotates 'beneath' it
During an eclipse of the sun when earth moon and sun are lined up the ocean tides on earth are extra and are called tides?
b) high,spring.

What is the moon's position when it's gravitational pull most strongly affects Earth's tides?
When the moon is in it's New Moon and Full Moon phase it's gravitational pull most strongly affects Earth's tides. These are called Spring Tides which are extremely high and low tides. This occurs because during these moon phases the sun, moon, and earth are in a straight line so the gravitational pull is stronger than usual, therefore, effecting the tides.
What forces causes the earth's highest tides in the ocean?
The gravity of the moon and sun causes the earth's tides. The greatest tides are called 'spring' tides which occur when the earth, moon and sun are aligned. The moon has the greatest effect on our tides because of its proximity.
What are tides like during a full moon?
During the full moon, spring tides happen. A spring tide is when the range of the tide is at its maximum.
