First quarter and last quarter.

They cause neap tides which are neither very high nor very low.

Which phase of the moon produces the least variation in tides on earth?

During the first and third quarter phases of the moon, known as the neap tides, the gravitational pull of the sun and moon work against each other, producing the least variation in tides on Earth. This results in lower high tides and higher low tides during these phases.


How many spring and neap tides will a tide-recording station experience in a given month?

A tide-recording station will experience two spring tides and two neap tides in a given month. Spring tides occur during the full moon and new moon phases when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned, creating higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur during the first and last quarter moon phases when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides.


What tides are in April?

In April, we typically experience spring tides, which occur during the full moon and new moon phases. These tides have higher highs and lower lows due to the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth.


What causes the tides to rise and fall and fall on Earth?

The tidal effect (guess where it got that name) caused by the gravity of the Sun and Moon.


Do changing tides affect the phases of the moon?

No, the moon affects the tides, but the tides do not affect the moon.


When do you have tides?

Higher-than-average "spring" tides occur at the new moon and full moon phases. Lower-than-average "neap" tides happen at the quarter-moon phases.


What is the effect of moon phases?

it can affect tides,


What moon phases will a neap tide occur?

Neap tides occur during the first and third quarter moon phases. During these phases, the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are perpendicular to each other, resulting in lower tidal ranges. This means that the high tides are not as high, and the low tides are not as low compared to spring tides, which occur during the full and new moon phases.


Which phases of the moon bring the highest tides what cause the height tides?

The highest tides, known as spring tides, occur during the full moon and new moon phases when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, creating a stronger gravitational pull on the ocean. Spring tides cause higher high tides and lower low tides.


What types of tides occur at new moons and full moons?

When the Sun, Earth and Moon are nearly lined up, the Sun and Moon's gravitational effects on tides are amplified slightly, causing higher-than-average 'spring tides". This happens at the new and full moon phases. When the Moon is at right angles to the Sun-Earth line, at the first and third quarter moon phases, we have lower-than-average "neap" tides.


How does the phases of the moon affect the tides at sea?

the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.


Should I plant by the phases of the moon?

Only if you are concerned about the tides
