The spring tide is the tide that has the greatest difference between low and high tides. This type of tide occurs during new or full moons when the gravitational pull of the moon combines with that of the sun's.

No, the greatest difference between low and high tides occurs during a spring tide, which happens when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned. Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in smaller tidal range.

When the moon is at positions a, c, or f (new moon, first quarter, third quarter), neap tides will occur. Neap tides have the least difference between high and low tide levels. When the moon is at position d (full moon), spring tides will occur, which have the greatest difference between high and low tide levels.


When are ocean tides experienced most?

Tides may be semidiurnal (two high waters and two low waters each day), or diurnal (one tidal cycle per day). In most locations, tides are semidiurnal. Because of the diurnalcontribution, there is a difference in height (the daily inequality) between the two high waters on a given day. Some of the greatest differences between high and low tides re found in the Bay of Fundy (eastern Canada).

What location on earth experiences the greatest difference between sea levels of high and low tides?

The Bay of Fundy in Canada experiences the largest tidal range in the world, with the water level fluctuating by up to 16 meters (52 feet) between high and low tide. This region is known for its extreme tides due to its unique shape and the resonance of the tides within the bay.
