'Neap' Tides.

At high tide a neap tide is not as high as a Spring High tide.

At Low tide a neap tide is not as low as a spring Low Tide.

At a given point on Earth, a Sprimg tide may have a range of 30 feet.

At the same point on Earth, a Neap tide may only have a range of say 20 feet.

What occurs when the moon is first or third quarter?

During the first and third quarter moon phases, the moon is at a 90-degree angle with the sun as seen from Earth. This results in half of the moon's visible surface being illuminated by sunlight, creating a half-moon shape. The first quarter moon rises at noon and sets at midnight, while the third quarter moon rises at midnight and sets at noon.
