Known as "Spring Tides", a full or new moon is when the gravitational pull of the Sun combines with the pull of the Moon. During a spring tide the high water line is far up the beach, while low water is very far down the beach.

What phase of the moon produce the highest and lowest tides on earth?
When the Moon is at Full and at Dark (New), tides are strongest. These are called "spring" tides. When the Moon is at First and Last Quarter, the tides are weakest. These are called "neap" tides.The reason is that the Solar tides are either added to, or subtracted from, the Lunar tides.

What causes the highest of high tides and the lowest of low tides to occur?
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
When the sun moon and Earth are lined up in a line during the new moon and full moon phase what type of tide occurs?
Spring tides.
What phase is the moon during spring tide?
A spring tide occurs during the full moon phase of the moon. This is also known as the new moon phase and the moon is located between the earth and the sun.
What phase of the moon the highest and lowest tides on earth?
New and full moons produce the highest and lowest tides. These are called spring tides
What phase of the moon brings the highest tides?
full
Which moon phase will the tides be the highest?
The New Moon and Full Moon phases.
When does the neap tides occurs on the earth?
a neap tide occurs when the moon is either 1st or 3rd quarter phase.
What occurs when high tides are the highest and low tides are the lowest?
Tidal maximums and Tidal minimums. These two Incidents are not co-incidental.

What is a spring tide and a neap tides?
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 tideNeap Tide is when the tide is the lowestA 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 phase of the moon when have a very high tides occur?
spring tides
When the sun moon and Earth are lined up in a line during the new moon and full moon phase what type of tide occurs?
Spring 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.
