spring tide
Eclipses (solar and lunar) are caused by the straight alignment of the sun, moon and earth. Spring tide A+ Thank you for the Answer Luckiigurl16 spring tide:A tide with the Greatest different between high and low tide that occurs when the sun and the moon are aligned with Earth at the new moon and full moon.
spring
neap tide A spring tide occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth are all in a line (full or new moon), and causes the greatest tidal differences because the Sun and Moon act together to create one large tidal bulge
It could be a lunar eclipse (when the earth is in between both the sun and the moon) or a solar eclipse (when the moon is in between both the earth and the sun).
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

It causes especially strong tides (high high and low lows) called "spring" tides. Nothing to do with the season; they "spring" up. When the Moon and Sun are at right angles, we have "neap" tides (low highs and high lows).

Spring tides are caused by the combined gravitational pull of the sun and the moon when they are aligned. However, solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, blocking the sun's light. This alignment for a solar eclipse does not coincide with the alignment necessary for spring tides.
When all three bodies are aligned spring tides are the result
When the Sun, Earth and Moon line up exactly, an eclipse occurs. If the alignment is sun, Moon, Earth, then it is a solar eclipse. If the alignment is Sun, Earth, Moon, then we have a lunar eclipse.
The Earth's gravitational attraction to the Moon causes spring tides. The area of Earth closest to the moon will experience the gravitational pull of the moon. The oceans react to this gravitational pull by creating a bulge on the side of Earth that faces the moon.
Spring and Neap tides are alike because they are both affected by the gravitational pull of the moon and because they are both caused by the alignment of the earth, moon, and the sun.
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.
