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
What are the bulges of water in the ocean called?
These are basically the "tides" of the Earth, as water in the oceans is spun away from the spinning Earth, but attracted by the Moon and the Sun. The varying topography of the ocean floors determines how these form actual tides.
The medium-sized tides that occur across the entire Earth's surface during the Quarter Moon phases are called?
Neap tides
How many tidal bulges move around earth daily?
Two. Tides result from the two tidal bulges that "move" around the earth daily as a result of the gravitational attractions of the moon and sun and the rotation of the earth.
Spring tides are unusually high and unusually low tides that occur when the moon earth and sun are all in line - during which moon phases do spring tides occur?
The sun and the moon's gravity pull in the same direction .

Why the highest tides occur during a new moon or a full moon?
it is when the gravitational pull of the moon is the strongest so it creates huge bulges of the ocean water
Why the ocean bulges on the sides of the Earth?
The ocean bulge and the tides are caused by attraction from the Moon.
The medium-sized tides that occur across the entire Earth's surface during the Quarter Moon phases are called?
Neap tides
The medium-sized tides that occur across the entire Earth's surface during the Quarter Moon phases are called what?
neap tides

What are ocean bulges called?
Bulges in the ocean are called tides. These are the rising and falling motions of the sea, caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the waters of the Earth.
Why the Neap Tides occur during the first and third quarter moon?
the gravitation of the moon is greater and the tides can either become bigger or smaller
When the sun earth and moon line up they cause something special to happen to tides. What kinds of tides occur?
neap tides occur..
Spring tides are unusually high and unusually low tides that occur when the moon earth and sun are all in line - during which moon phases do spring tides occur?
The sun and the moon's gravity pull in the same direction .
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.
