Neap tide occurs when the moon, earth, and sun are making a right angle.
Spring tide occurs when they are in a straight line.
Spring tide is the highest tide
Neap Tide is when the tide is the lowest
A spring tide is occurs when the moon is in alignment with the earth and sun at the same time. This happens during the new moon and full moon phases. When a spring tide occurs, the low tides are REALLY low and the high tides are VERY high.
A neap tide is the exact opposite...the difference in tides is not as distinguishable. The high tides are fairly low and the low tides are not too low. This occurs when the moon is in its first or third (last) quarter phases (not in alignment with the sun).
During the full moon and new moon days, the sun, the earth and the moon are in the same line and the tides are highest. These tides are called spring tides. But when yhe moon is in its first and last quarter, the ocean waters get drawn in diagonally opposite directions by the gravitational pull of the sun and the earth resulting in low tides. These tides are called neap tides.
What else can I help you with?
From what is known about spring tides and neap tides you can conclude that?
Neap tide is the lowest but not of good advantage for an oceanographers like spring tide
What is a spring and neat tide?
Spring Tides Are Extreme Tides And Neap Tides Are Weaker Tides.
What is the opposite of a neap tide called?
The opposite of a neap tide is a spring tide. Spring tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides.
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.
What the difference between neap and spring tide?
neap tides are moderate tides at normal rates while spring tides are more extereme ex to high or to low .
The highest and lowest tides are known as the spring tides. When do these tides occur?
this is called EbbTide
Why do spring tides and neap tides occur twice a month?
they are both tides
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 causes a neap tide?
The tides are a natural phenomenon between high and low tides is reduced. These are called neap tides. Do NOT get these confused with Spring tide. It is very easy to do, but it is a fatal (more or less) mistake.
Is neap tide greater than spring tide?
Spring tides have the greatest range; neap tides have the least range. This happens based upon the degree to which solar tides and lunar tides are aligned or in opposition, which is to say, are the sun and moon both pulling on the water in the same direction, or in different directions.
What is a semi-monthly tide?
Spring and neap tides come twice a month.
What causes spring tide and neap tides?
The gravitational pull by the moon and the sun.
