High and low tide are daily (or more than once a day) occurrences whereas the phases of the moon are connected more to Spring and Neap Tides. Both the sun and the moon have a gravitational pull on the ocean tides. When these are lined up with the Earth and we see a New or Full moon, the pull is greater and we get a Spring Tide. This causes greater differences between both high tide and low tide. When the moon is perpendicular to the "line" between the sun and the Earth, and we see a waxing or waning Quarter moon, we get a Neap Tide, the two gravitational pulls somewhat cancel each other out, and there is less extremes between the high and low tides. A Gibbous moon would occur during a regular tidal height pattern, as its pull neither strengthens nor negates the gravitational pull of the sun.

What would happen if the moons revolution speed was half as fast as it is now?
Everything is structured in the solar system. Even if the Sun moved a little bit we would all burn, or freeze to death. So, thus having to do with that, having the moon move twice as far, the moon controls magnetic fields with the earth and us, thus having to believe in emotional problems and sometimes mental problems. So, the effect would be significantly HUGE.
What causes the moon to have less of an impact on tides at neap tides?
When the sun and moon are on the same side of the Earth (new moon) or the opposite side (full moon), their bulges add together to make larger tides than usual: this is called a "springtide". When the sun and moon are 90 degrees apart (first quarter or last quarter moon), the bulges interfere and cancel each other
What is the difference between Waxing Crescent and Waxing Gibbous moon phases?
A waxing crescent is a small fraction of the moon, while the waxing gibbous looks as though someone cut the crescent out. together they make a full moon
When high tides are higher than normal what tides do they make neap or spring tides?
it makes spring tides. the way i remenber that is springs go high and and spring tides are higher than neap tides.
