How many times do neap tides occur a year?
Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other (First Quarter & Last Quarter moon phases). Neap tides are less dramatic than regular tides.Neap tides occur twice per lunar period. According to the link on Wikipedia (I'm posting the related link as well as another link about tides and the moon).According to the Wikipedia article, a moon period averages about 29.53 days, so with neap tides occurring twice per period, or about 14.765 days.So with one year at 365.25 days, we get 365.25/14.765 = 24.738 times per year
When does spring tides occur?
A spring tide occurs at the new moon or the full moon when the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned thereby generating the greatest gravitational pull on the tides.Spring tides occur during either a full or new moon. At these times, the tides are strong due to the gravitational force of the moon and sun
Minimum tides are called what?
Low tide is when the tide is at it's lowest point for the day. Low tide's time changes based on location and time of year.
How many tides are there each year?
there are 732 tides a year! That is about right. But, it depends if it is diurnal, twice a day so 365 x 2 = 730, minus 2 in leap years, 728. if tide is semi-diurnal, then there are 4 tides a day 1,460, and it can be mixed with 3 tides a day.
Why does a spring tide occur?
A spring tide occurs when the Sun, Earth and Moon are lined up in a straight line. The gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon on the Earth pull in the same direction, making the tides more intense - high tides are higher, and low tides are lower. The tides are called spring tides because the water "springs" back and forth, and it has nothing to do with the season. The opposite is a neap tide, when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to each other, when viewed from Earth. Then their gravitational pulls act in opposite directions, cancelling each other out and making the tides less intense - low tides are higher, and high tides are lower. (The Moon still wins our over the Sun tidally, so high and low tide are still determined by the Moon.)

What are the similarities between spring tides and neap tides?
They both occur twice a year... and both involve high tides and low tides...

What types of tides are there?
> Low Tide ◘ High Tide § Spring Tide ► Neap TideThere are several different kinds of tides. There is ebb tide, when the tide goes out, flood tide is when the tide comes in. There is also neap tides, spring tides, diurnal tides.
How many spring tides will occur during the year?
3 times.
Lower than normal high tide?
A lower than normal high tide can be caused by factors such as the position of the moon, atmospheric pressure, and winds. Low tides can also be influenced by the topography of the coastline and the shape of the seabed in a particular area. Additionally, tides are part of a complex system that can vary throughout the year and in different locations.
How is a tidal range affected when the moon earth and sun are in line?
Spring tides occur in principle when the three objects are lined up so that the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon are combined. In practice in many places the spring tides occur 1-2 days later. Tides are a proximity effect, which means that the Moon's effect on the tides is the major effect because it's closer, while the Sun's overall gravitational force on the Earth is much stronger. Tides happen because the Moon's gravity is much stronger on one side of the Earth than the other, because it's close, while the difference is not so much with the Sun's gravity because it's a lot further away.
How many times a year does the spring tides occur?
A spring tide occur's twice a month and 24 times a year.

When do the highest tides occur?
High tides are the biggest when the moon is Full or when the moon is a New Moon. The gravitational pull of the Moon is greatest at these phases which makes a bigger bulge in the ocean causing high tide. But it also depends on the time of year when the tides are low or high.
