Spring Tides. That is the High tide is very high and the low tide is very low.

When the Sun, Earth and Moon are at 'right-angles to each other, then we have Neap Tides. The height range between high and low tides is much less than Spring Tides.

Kind of tide that occurs when the Sun Earth and the Moon line up together?

Spring tide occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned in a straight line, causing the gravitational forces to reinforce each other and leading to higher high tides and lower low tides.


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 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.


Does a low tide occur at the point on earth farthest from the moon?

No, a low tide occurs at the point on Earth closest to the moon due to the gravitational pull of the moon on the water. The water is attracted towards the moon, causing a bulge and resulting in low tides at points perpendicular to the moon.


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.

What is an anual high tide called?

An annual high tide is called a spring tide. This occurs when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, leading to higher-than-normal high tides and lower-than-normal low tides.

Why is a spring tide significantly higher than a normal high tide?

A spring tide is significantly higher than a normal high tide because it occurs when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, causing their gravitational forces to combine and create stronger tidal effects.


Does a spring tide happen when the sun and moon are in line?

Yes, a spring tide occurs when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, with the sun and moon both pulling on the Earth's oceans in the same direction. This alignment results in higher high tides and lower low tides than usual.


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 tide with the least distance between low and high tides is called a(n) tide.?

A tide with the smallest difference between low and high tides is called a neap tide. It occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned such that the angle of the Sun and Earth is 90 degrees with respect to the angle of the Earth and the Moon. This is because the gravitational attraction of the Sun and Moon tend to cancel each other out at that angle.


Differentiate waves and tides and differentiate neap tide and spring tide?

Wave is a movement in the water surface under vertical direction and is caused by wind. The stronger the wind is, so is the wave. Tide is a natural phenomenon, a regular and periodical oscillation of water. In theory, in terms of physical matter, tide is caused by the gravitational force of the moon and certainly by that of the sun as well. Neap tide is weak tide occurring when the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are perpendiculare to one another. It occurs during quarter moons. Spring tide is strong time occurring when the earth, the sun and the moon are in a line. It occurs in the full and new moon.

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.
