Tide are especially high or low when the moon is full or new?
in England we call them spring tides and they occur whenever there is a full moon.
What do tides do during the new and full moon?
Spring tides occur at full and new moons.
What types of tides occur at new moons and full moons?
When the Sun, Earth and Moon are nearly lined up, the Sun and Moon's gravitational effects on tides are amplified slightly, causing higher-than-average 'spring tides". This happens at the new and full moon phases. When the Moon is at right angles to the Sun-Earth line, at the first and third quarter moon phases, we have lower-than-average "neap" tides.
What kind of tides would you expect a new moon?
Spring tides.
What are tides like during a full moon?
During the full moon, spring tides happen. A spring tide is when the range of the tide is at its maximum.
Do spring tides occur mostly in the spring?
Spring tides occur every two months; every full moon and new moon. The spring has nothing to do with the spring tides, despite it's name.

What phase of the moon when have a very high tides occur?
spring tides
What time of year do a neap tides occur?
the spring tides occur when the moon is in line with u and neap tides occur when the moon is on a 90 degree angle from u
What makes a spring tide occur?
The proximity of the moon affects all tides. When combined with other effects, spring tides occur
When does spring tides occur?
A spring tide occurs at the new moon or the full moon when the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned thereby generating the greatest gravitational pull on the tides.Spring tides occur during either a full or new moon. At these times, the tides are strong due to the gravitational force of the moon and sun
What phase is the moon in during spring tides?
Spring tides, which are a little higher than normal, occur at the new and full moon phases.
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 .
Do spring tides only occur in spring?
No, they occur every twice a month; every full moon and every new moon.
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
Tide are especially high or low when the moon is full or new?
in England we call them spring tides and they occur whenever there is a full moon.
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.
