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.
What else can I help you with?
What is the opposite of a neap tide called?
The opposite of a neap tide is a spring tide. Spring tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides.
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 happens during a spring tide and a neap tide?
During a spring tide, the high water mark would be high up on the beach on the flood, and very far out on an ebb tide. During a neap tide, the high water mark is not so high or so low as during a spring tide.
Which type of tide is created when the Sun's gravitational pull on Earth is at its least?
Neap tide
What is the tied called that has the smallest difference between low and high tides?
A neap tide has the smallest difference between low and high tides. This occurs when the sun, moon, and Earth form a right angle, resulting in weaker gravitational 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 are different kinds of tide?
you have a high tide and low tide, tides are affected by the Moon. There is also something called Neap tide and Spring tide. Spring tide occurs in spring and sometime throughout the year. Neap tide is when there is a higher low tide and a lower low tide. Spring tide is when there is a higher low tide and lower high tide
The type of tide formed during the first and third quarter moon when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other?
'Neap' Tides. At high tide a neap tide is not as high as a Spring High tide. At Low tide a neap tide is not as low as a spring Low Tide. At a given point on Earth, a Sprimg tide may have a range of 30 feet. At the same point on Earth, a Neap tide may only have a range of say 20 feet.
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.
What is the opposite of a neap tide called?
The opposite of a neap tide is a spring tide. Spring tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides.
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.
Is a neap tide considered to be high or low?
A neap tide is considered to be a tide that is neither very high nor very low. It occurs when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, causing less extreme tidal variations.
Is a neap tide considered high or low?
Ah, understanding the tides is truly a gift. During a neap tide, the variation between high and low tide is not as pronounced as during a spring tide. It's like a gentler rise and fall of the ocean, where both highs and lows are not extreme. Like a soft whisper in nature's own rhythm.
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 tide is the lowest of low tides?
neap tide
What happens during a spring tide and a neap tide?
During a spring tide, the high water mark would be high up on the beach on the flood, and very far out on an ebb tide. During a neap tide, the high water mark is not so high or so low as during a spring tide.
