The moon.
The tides are a natural phenomenon between high and low tides is reduced. These are called neap tides. Do NOT get these confused with Spring tide. It is very easy to do, but it is a fatal (more or less) mistake.
Neap and spring tides are about 7 days apart.
Spring Tides Are Extreme Tides And Neap Tides Are Weaker Tides.
I have the same question :/ Hope someone helps you.
a neap tide occurs when the moon is either 1st or 3rd quarter phase.
The force of the moon and the pull of gravity.....

The Sun's gravity. At neap tides - the moon is exactly opposite the Sun in relation to the Earth. This means it's 'pulling' against the gravity of the Sun.
The gravitational pull by the moon and the sun.
Spring tides are caused by the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth, creating higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides.
Spring tides are caused by new and full moons. Neap tides are caused by 1st and 3rd quarter moons.
Neap tides are the weakest
Especially weak tides are called neap tides. Neap tides occur when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon are perpendicular to each other, which results in minimal tidal range.
Neap and spring tides are about 7 days apart.
2. Neap tides, and spring tides.
Spring tides and neap tides
There are two spring tides and two neap tides each month due to the gravitational interactions between the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. Spring tides occur when the Earth, Moon, and Sun are aligned (during the new and full moons), resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides. In contrast, neap tides happen when the Moon is at a right angle to the Sun relative to the Earth (during the first and third quarters), leading to lower high tides and higher low tides. This cyclical alignment causes the regular pattern of two spring and two neap tides each month.
