A neap tide is a smaller tidal range that occurs when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other during the first and third quarters of the lunar cycle. This alignment results in less gravitational pull on the Earth's waters, leading to lower high tides and higher low tides. Consequently, neap tides are characterized by their reduced tidal fluctuations compared to spring tides, which have larger ranges.
What else can I help you with?
What do you call the tide that occurs when destructive interference between lunar and solar bulges produces a small tidal range?
Neap Tide
Why neap tide called neap tide?
Rise and fall of sea levels is called tide. When the sun and moon are at right angles to the earth, the sun partially contracts the pull of the moon, producing lower high tides typical of a neap tide.
What is the angle formed by the sun earth and the moon during a neap tide?
It is a right angle
Which type of tide is created when the Sun's gravitational pull on Earth is at its least?
Neap tide
What name is given to a small tide?
A small tide is called a neap tide. These occur twice a month when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in weaker tidal forces.

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?
Yes. It is Neap Tide.
What is the angle formed by the sun earth and the moon during a neap tide?
It is a right angle
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 type of tide is the highest?
Neap tide
Which type of tide is created when the Sun's gravitational pull on Earth is at its least?
Neap tide
What tide is bigger a neap tide or a spring tide?
Spring :]
What name is given to a small tide?
A small tide is called a neap tide. These occur twice a month when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in weaker tidal forces.
What are the names of the ocean tides?
High tide or low tide. There is also summer tide (I think) which is a really large tide, and a spring tide which is a very low tide.
