yes because the earth and the moon push and pull with there gravitational pulls. and when the moon is full it has a stronger gravitational pull
No
Spring tides (which are a little higher than average) occur when the Sun, Moon and Earth are pretty much lined up; at the new moon and the full moon. Lower-than-average "neap" tides happen at the 1st and 3rd quarter moon phases.
I have the same question :/ Hope someone helps you.
They both occur twice a year... and both involve high tides and low tides...
strongest: during moon phases new and full. weakest: during moon phases 1st and 3rd quarters. ~A
At the quarter moon phase, the gravity of the sun and the moon are working at right angles to each other, partially canceling out their tidal effects. This is when you'll get the highest low tides or lowest high tides, or "neap tides".
gravity
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."
During a full moon, the tides become higher than normal. These high tides may sometimes be called spring tides. Tides are created by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon.
Spring tides.
Higher-than-average "spring" tides occur at the new moon and full moon phases. Lower-than-average "neap" tides happen at the quarter-moon phases.
Spring tides, which are a little higher than normal, occur at the new and full moon phases.
The higher "spring" tides occur at the new and full Moon, while the lower "neap" tides occur at the first and third quarter Moons.
"Spring" tides are higher-than-normal tides that occur when the Moon is full or new; when the tidal forces of the Sun and Moon are additive. Lower-than-normal "neap" tides happen when the Moon is at the 1st or 3rd quarter, when the Moon and the Sun are working at cross-purposes on the tides.
Because the earth, moon and sun are in alignment
Spring tides happen during full moon and new moon. The additional gravitational force of the sun, causes the tides to be higher (springs).
Spring tides, when the Moon is new or full, and neap tides when the Moon is at the 1st or 3rd quarters.
Spring tides, when the Moon is full or new, are higher than average, while neap tides when the Moon is at one of the quarters has lower than average tides.
