Very low and very high tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans. During a new moon and full moon, the alignment of the Earth, moon, and sun results in especially high tides, known as spring tides, due to the combined gravitational forces. Conversely, during the first and third quarters of the moon, when the sun and moon are at right angles relative to the Earth, the gravitational effects partially cancel each other out, leading to lower tides known as neap tides. Other factors, such as local geography and atmospheric conditions, also influence tide levels.
