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.

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 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.
