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.
What else can I help you with?
What are the weakest tides called?
Neap tides are the weakest tides. They occur when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon are perpendicular to each other, resulting in the least difference between high and low tide levels.
What name for Minimum range tide?
Minimum tides are also known as low tides. It's the lowest a tide will get in the cycle of highs and lows.
What are extreme tides called?
Extra high tides are called spring tides and extra low tides are called neap tides ********************************************* Spring high tide is a tide that is very high and reaches high up the beach. Spring low tide is a tide that is very low and goes far down the beach. Neap tides are the high and low water tides that range over the beach between the Spring tide marks.
What type of tides has the highest high tides and the lowest low tides called?
The greatest high tides are Spring tides where the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a line. They are also the lowest low tides. The least high tides and low tides are called neap tides when the sun, moon and earth form a right angle
What is the difference in height between successive high and low tides called?
tidal range
A tide with the least distance between low and high tides is called a neap tide?
Yes. It is Neap Tide.
Is A tide with the least distance between low and high tides is called a neap tide?

What are the weakest tides called?
Neap tides are the weakest tides. They occur when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon are perpendicular to each other, resulting in the least difference between high and low tide levels.
When do tides start forming?
what is the time between tides called
What name for Minimum range tide?
Minimum tides are also known as low tides. It's the lowest a tide will get in the cycle of highs and lows.
What would happen to the earth tides if the distance between earth and the moon increased?
Tides would become stronger.
What would happen to Earth and tides if the distance between Earth and the Moon increased?
Tides would become stronger.
What phenomena are the results of gravity between the moon and the earth?
Tides are the result of lunar (and solar) gravity.
What do you call the area between tides?
It is called the tidal plain.
What are extreme tides called?
Extra high tides are called spring tides and extra low tides are called neap tides ********************************************* Spring high tide is a tide that is very high and reaches high up the beach.
