The highest tide occurs when the moon is either a 'New Moon' or a 'Full Moon' reason; When the Earth, Sun, and Moon are nearly aligned, and the tidal forces add up from those three. (Always the highest Tide is when a New Moon and Full Moon)
The 'weakest' high tides occur when the moon is on it's First and Third quarter moon. What happens is, The Moon, Sun, and Earth line up at a Right angle ( 90 degrees ) and the weakest tide occurs

What is the term for the lowest and highest tides on earth?
Spring tides
The highest and lowest tides are known as the spring tides. When do these tides occur?
this is called EbbTide
What phase of the moon produce the highest and lowest tides on earth?
When the Moon is at Full and at Dark (New), tides are strongest. These are called "spring" tides. When the Moon is at First and Last Quarter, the tides are weakest. These are called "neap" tides.The reason is that the Solar tides are either added to, or subtracted from, the Lunar tides.
What type of tides has the highest high tides and the lowest low tides called?
The greatest high tides are Spring tides where the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a line. They are also the lowest low tides. The least high tides and low tides are called neap tides when the sun, moon and earth form a right angle
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
What phase of the moon the highest and lowest tides on earth?
New and full moons produce the highest and lowest tides. These are called spring tides

What happens when high tides are at there highest and low tides at there lowest?
death Neap tide.

What occurs when high tides are the highest and low tides are the lowest?
Tidal maximums and Tidal minimums. These two Incidents are not co-incidental.

The greatest high tides are Spring tides where the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a line. They are also the lowest low tides. The least high tides and low tides are called neap tides when the sun, moon and earth form a right angle
What is The difference between the highest and lowest tides?
It varies from place to place. It is called the Tidal Range.
Which phases of the moon cause the highest low tides and lowest high tides?
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".
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 and neap tides?
Spring tides are the highest of high tides and lowest of low tides, when the moon, Earth, and Sun are aligned as following from the geographic North Pole: m---E---S That way, the Sun helps the moon pull on the Earth's water, moving much of it to the direct and opposite points of tide on Earth and leaving little of it in other places. ............lowest m highest E highest S ............lowest Neap tides are the lowest of high tides and highest of low tides, because the gravity of the moon and Sun are working against each other: m | E---S More water is pulled towards the moon, but the gravity is weak, so there is more water left elsewhere than there is during a Spring tide. ...................m ..........."low" h tide "high" l tide E "high" l tide S ..........."low" h tide May be tricky to understand.
