What phase of the moon do neap tides occur?
Neap tides are the ones that coincide with the Moon's First Quarter and Third Quarter.
What is the same about neap tides and spring tides?
They are both affected by the moons gravitional pull, but from different extremes.
What moon phases would cause spring tides?
"Spring" tides, which are a little higher than average, occur at new moons and full moons. "Neap" tides, a little lower than average, occur at the quarter moon phases.
The smallest high tides occur when the Moon phase is?
The higher "spring" tides occur at the new and full Moon, while the lower "neap" tides occur at the first and third quarter Moons.
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 Moon phases causes Spring tides?
Spring tides are caused by new and full moons. Neap tides are caused by 1st and 3rd quarter moons.
What phase of the moon do neap tides occur?
Neap tides are the ones that coincide with the Moon's First Quarter and Third Quarter.

How does a neap tide happen?
Neap tides are especially weak tides. Theyoccurwhen the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another (with respect to the Earth). Neap tides occurduring quarter moons. The Proxigean SpringTideis a rare, unusually high tide.
Why do you have two spring tides and two neap tides?
they are cuased by the moons grasity on earth and the orbit of earth around the sun
Neap tides result when the moon is?
At right angles to the sun.
What is the same about spring tide and neap tides?
They are both affected by the moons gravitional pull, but from different extremes.
What do differences in the moons and suns pull on different sides of earth cause?
Neap, Spring, high and low tides.
The smallest high tides occur when the Moon phase is?
The higher "spring" tides occur at the new and full Moon, while the lower "neap" tides occur at the first and third quarter Moons.
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 spring tide and neap tide?
Spring tides are formed by the constructive interference of bulges created by the moon and sun. Spring tides occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned. Neap tides are formed by the destructive interference of bulges created by the moon and sun. Neap tides occur when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align to make a right angle. Spring tides are therefore larger than neap tides, new moons and full moons occur in the spring tide but the 1st qauter of the moon and 3rd quarter of the moon occur in neap tides... tupac
