It's not "spring" the season of the year: it's when the tide "springs up" due to the Sun and the Moon pulling on the Earth in the same direction. There are two spring tides every synodic period of the Moon (at Full and New Moon).

What is it called when high tides are higher and low tides are lower than normal?
High tides. The others are called low tides.
A tide that result when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon combine to create higher high tides and lower low tides is called a?
When the Sun and Moon are aligned, you get what is called spring tides, with higher high tides and lower low tides.
When the sun and moon align at full moon and pull on Earth together the higher high tides and lower low tides are called?
Spring tides.
How is neap tide and spring tide alike?
spring tide is when the moon and the sun are aligned and the force of gravity pulls the tides outward on the sides and thinner on top which makes high tides higher and low tides higher while neap tides are when the moon is at a 90 degree angle with the earth and sun and pull more to were low tides are lower and high tides are lower.
Is the greatest difference between low and high tides occurs during a neap tide?
both spring tides and neap tides have a 20% difference from normal tides

What is the difference between high water and low water during spring tides and neap tide?
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.

in England we call them spring tides and they occur whenever there is a full moon.
What special tide occurs during a full and new moon?
We get high tides and low tides every day, but the size of those highs and lows varies. At new Moon and full Moon, the Sun's and Moon's gravitational pulls reinforce each other so high tides are higher and low tides are lower. To put it another way, the tidal range is greatest at these times. This is called a spring tide.
