What is the term for the lowest and highest tides on earth?
Spring tides
Are tides at their highest during neap tides?
No Neap tides are when the sun,earth, and moon form a right angle. This makes the the water on earth be pulled towards the sun and the moon. causing the tides to be very low. Spring tides are when tides are the highest because the earth,sun,and moon are in a line,causing very high tides.
Tides are highest when earth is in line with?
when the sun, earth, and the moon are nearly in a line
The highest tides are called?
The highest tides are called
What type of tides has the highest high tides and the lowest low tides called?
The greatest high tides are Spring tides where the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a line. They are also the lowest low tides. The least high tides and low tides are called neap tides when the sun, moon and earth form a right angle
What is the term for the lowest and highest tides on earth?
Spring tides
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 forces causes the earth's highest tides in the ocean?
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.

The highest tides in the world can be found in?
Bay of Fundy
When do high tides come about?
High tides occur when the water is at its highest. Tides are caused by the combined effects of the rotation of the earth and the gravitational forces of the sun and the moon.

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.
Why tides are occur in sea during the full moon?
The Earth's ocean tides are the result of the forces of gravitational attraction between the Sun, the Moon, the Earth, and the oceans. The tides exhibit two highest points and two lowest points roughly every day.
