No, it's not either of those things. A neap tide is when the difference between low tide and high tide is at a minimum. They occur roughly twice a month, when the moon is at first or third quarter. When the moon is new or full, you get the opposite of a neap tide, a "spring tide", when the difference between low tide and high tide as at a maximum.
On a spring tide, the sea comes high up the beach and then goes low down the beach. A neap tide goes high and low between the range of a spring tide (half way up and half way down the beach).
#Flood tide is an incoming tide. It is incomiong between low and high tides. It is called a 'Flood tide' , because it floods over the tidal range.
The tidal period (length of time between successive high or low tides) is about 12 hours and 25.2 minutes, exactly half a tidal lunar day. Thus the period between the high tide and the low tide is 6 hours and 12.6 minutes. This means that if it was high tide at noon, the low tide will be at 12.6 minutes past 6 in the evening of the same day.
The mean high tide line is the average location of the high tide over a specific period of time. It is used to demarcate the boundary between private and public property along coastal shorelines.
yes there is a correlation between high tide and moon rise because the higher the moon gets in the sky the higher the tide will be.
The tide
the diffrencce between high tide and low is a high tide is by the gravitaion pull of the moon and/or the sun and a low tide is in the middle between the moon an sun
The duration between high tide and low tide is typically around 6 hours and 12.5 minutes.
at low tide rockpools are pools at high tide they are part of the sea...
The tidal range is the vertical difference between the high tide and the succeeding low tide.
beach
spring tide .. ;)

tidal range
The typical time between high and low tide is about 6 hours.
Yes. It is Neap Tide.
