Spring tides are formed by the constructive interference of bulges created by the moon and sun. Spring tides occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned.
Neap tides are formed by the destructive interference of bulges created by the moon and sun. Neap tides occur when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align to make a right angle.
Spring tides are therefore larger than neap tides, new moons and full moons occur in the spring tide but the 1st qauter of the moon and 3rd quarter of the moon occur in neap tides...

What else can I help you with?
What is the lowest the spring tide can get?
The lowest point of a spring tide occurs during the neap tide phase, which is when the difference between high and low tide is the smallest. This typically happens about a week after the spring tide.
What a neap tide low or high?
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 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.
Is the greatest difference between low and high tides occurs during a neap tide?
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.
From what is known about spring tides and neap tides you can conclude that?
Neap tide is the lowest but not of good advantage for an oceanographers like spring tide
What is the difference between a neap tide and a spring tide?
A neap tide occurs when the sun, moon, and Earth form a right angle, resulting in weaker tides. A spring tide happens when they align, causing stronger tides.
What is the lowest the spring tide can get?
The lowest point of a spring tide occurs during the neap tide phase, which is when the difference between high and low tide is the smallest. This typically happens about a week after the spring tide.
What a neap tide low or high?
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 the difference between neap and spring tide?
neap tides are moderate tides at normal rates while spring tides are more extereme ex to high or to low .
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 bigger a neap tide or a spring tide?
Spring :]
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.
What is the difference between high water and low water during spring tide and neap tide?
Spring tides, when the Moon is full or new, are higher than average, while neap tides when the Moon is at one of the quarters has lower than average tides.
Is the greatest difference between low and high tides occurs during a neap tide?
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.
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.
From what is known about spring tides and neap tides you can conclude that?
Neap tide is the lowest but not of good advantage for an oceanographers like spring tide
Is the water higher during a neap tide or a spring tide?
?
