During the first quarter of the moon the moon and sun appear to be
at a 90 degree angle.At this time the sun's tidal influence cancels the moon's.
The tide then has a minimum range. I used to call them wimpy tides.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between the highest and lowest tides during a neap tide?
A neap tide happens during the quarter phase of the moon and they are weak tides. There is a very small difference between high and low tides during this time.
What is the angle formed by the sun earth and the moon during a neap tide?
It is a right angle
Is the water higher during a neap tide or a spring tide?

Is the water higher during a neap tide or spring tide?

What is it called when the tide is at lowest?
The tides are called neap tides. These occur during the First and Third quarter (in terms of moon phases) and are lower than the tides during New Moon and Full Moon phases.
What is the lowest the spring tide can get?
The lowest point of a spring tide occurs during the neap tide phase, which is when the difference between high and low tide is the smallest. This typically happens about a week after the spring tide.
What happens during a spring tide and a neap tide?
During a spring tide, the high water mark would be high up on the beach on the flood, and very far out on an ebb tide. During a neap tide, the high water mark is not so high or so low as during a spring tide.
Which type of tide is created when the Sun's gravitational pull on Earth is at its least?
Neap tide
The daily tidal range is greatest during which tide?
neap tidespring tide
What is the difference between a neap tide and a spring tide?
A neap tide occurs when the sun, moon, and Earth form a right angle, resulting in weaker tides. A spring tide happens when they align, causing stronger tides.
The type of tide formed during the first and third quarter moon when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other?
'Neap' Tides. At high tide a neap tide is not as high as a Spring High tide. At Low tide a neap tide is not as low as a spring Low Tide. At a given point on Earth, a Sprimg tide may have a range of 30 feet. At the same point on Earth, a Neap tide may only have a range of say 20 feet.
What tide has the least difference between low and high tide?
The neap tide. This tide happens when the Moon is at first quarter and last quarter and has the least influence on the tide.
