What are the relative positions of the Earth the Moon and the Sun on a full moon and a new moon?
For a "spring tide" to occur, the Sun and Moon are lined up with the Earth; either near the new moon or near the full moon. This is because the Sun and the Moon each cause their own tidal forces on the Earth's oceans, and when the forces are lined up, they add together.A "neap tide" occurs when the tidal forces of the Sun and the Moon work at right angles to each other, lessening the total effect of the tides. This happens when the Sun, Moon and Earth form a triangle pattern. This happens at the first or third quarter phases of the Moon.
Kind of tide that occurs when the Sun Earth and the Moon line up together?
It is called Mixed tide.
The greatest difference in water level between a low tide and a high tide occurs because of what alignment of the Moon Sun and Earth?
neap tide A spring tide occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth are all in a line (full or new moon), and causes the greatest tidal differences because the Sun and Moon act together to create one large tidal bulge
What tide occurs when the Sun and Moon pull Earth's surface in opposite directions?
Neap
What is caused by the straight alignment of the sun earth and moon?
Eclipses (solar and lunar) are caused by the straight alignment of the sun, moon and earth. Spring tide A+ Thank you for the Answer Luckiigurl16 spring tide:A tide with the Greatest different between high and low tide that occurs when the sun and the moon are aligned with Earth at the new moon and full moon.
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 tide is formed when the moon sun and earth are lined up?
Spring tides.
Is it true that a low tide occurs at the point on earth farthest from the moon?
No. High tide occurs at both he points nearest the moon and farthest from it. Low tide occurs at right angles tot hose positions.

A spring tide occurs during what conditions?
The earth is aligned with the moon and the sun
What is a proxigean spring tide and how often goes it occur?
The Proxigean Spring Tide is a rare, unusually high tide. This very high tide occurs when the moon is both unusually close to the Earth (at its closest perigee, called the proxigee) and in the New Moon phase (when the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth). The proxigean spring tide occurs at most once every 1.5 years.

When the sun the moon and earth form a right angle we have tides.?
An Neap Tide occurs -**$$**
When does the neap tides occurs on the earth?
a neap tide occurs when the moon is either 1st or 3rd quarter phase.
