Neap tides are when the sun,earth, and moon form a right angle. This makes the the water on earth be pulled towards the sun and the moon. causing the tides to be very low.

Spring tides are when tides are the highest because the earth,sun,and moon are in a line,causing very high tides.

What is the difference between the highest and lowest tides during a neap tide?

A neap tide happens during the quarter phase of the moon and they are weak tides. There is a very small difference between high and low tides during this time.


What happens when high tides are at there highest and low tides at there lowest?

death Neap tide.


The highest and lowest tides are known as the spring tides. When do these tides occur?

this is called EbbTide

During neap tides tidal range is at its?

it is at its lowest.


Is the greatest difference between low and high tides occurs during a neap tide?

No, the greatest difference between low and high tides occurs during a spring tide, which happens when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned. Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in smaller tidal range.


What kind of tide happens during a new moon?

I have the same question :/ Hope someone helps you.


When the tides are especially weak the tides are called?

During spring tides, the sea comes in far up the beach, and goes out a long way.During neap tides, the sea doesn't come in as high up the beach, or goes out as far.


How many spring and neap tides will a tide-recording station experience in a given month?

A tide-recording station will experience two spring tides and two neap tides in a given month. Spring tides occur during the full moon and new moon phases when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned, creating higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur during the first and last quarter moon phases when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides.


What moons result in neap tides?

Neap tides occur when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are at right angles relative to the Earth, which happens during the first and third quarters of the lunar cycle. During these phases, the Moon is half illuminated, leading to lower high tides and higher low tides. Thus, neap tides are primarily influenced by the Moon's position rather than specific moons.


What phase of the moon produce the highest and lowest tides on earth?

When the Moon is at Full and at Dark (New), tides are strongest. These are called "spring" tides. When the Moon is at First and Last Quarter, the tides are weakest. These are called "neap" tides.The reason is that the Solar tides are either added to, or subtracted from, the Lunar tides.


How many days pass between the lowest and highest tidal range?

The tidal range varies due to the positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, typically cycling through a pattern of spring and neap tides. Spring tides, which have the highest tidal range, occur approximately every two weeks during the full and new moons. Neap tides, which have the lowest tidal range, occur about a week after the spring tides. Therefore, roughly 7 to 14 days pass between the lowest and highest tidal ranges.
