During the Moon's first quarter phase, the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun work against each other, leading to a phenomenon known as neap tides. During neap tides, the difference between high and low tides is at its minimum, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. This occurs approximately a week after the new moon and a week before the full moon.

Name of Tide after first and third quarter?
The name of the third quarter tide is called a neap tide. They are Spring tides that occur when the Sun and Moon line up.
What are first quarter and third quarter moons also called?
The first quarter and third quarter moons are also called
The type of tide formed during the first and third quarter moon when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other?
'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.
In which direction and around what time of day does a first quarter Moon rise?
A first quarter moon is 90 degrees from the earth and the sun. Therefore, it rises around noon. Last quarter moons are also at 90 degrees, but the 'other' 90 degrees, 180 degrees from the first quarter position. So last quarter moons rise around midnight. The moon always rises in the east.
How many first quarter moons are there in a year?
In a year, there are typically 12 to 13 first quarter moons. This variation occurs because the lunar cycle, which lasts about 29.5 days, does not perfectly align with the calendar months. As a result, some years may have an extra full moon, leading to an additional first quarter moon.

What tide has the least difference between low and high tide?
The neap tide. This tide happens when the Moon is at first quarter and last quarter and has the least influence on the tide.
What is the face of the moon when neap tide?
First Quarter and Last Quarter.
Can you see first quarter moons from earth?
Yes.
How often do tides change in one day?
The tides change during the day, depending on the moon phases. If there are full moons or new moons, or every 14 days, a spring tide occurs. Every first or third/last quarter, a neap tide occurs. These also effect the tidal ranges of low and High. Hope I helped!
What phase of the moon do neap tides occur?
Neap tides are the ones that coincide with the Moon's First Quarter and Third Quarter.
What is it called when the tide is at lowest?
The tides are called neap tides. These occur during the First and Third quarter (in terms of moon phases) and are lower than the tides during New Moon and Full Moon phases.
