The highest tide occurs when the moon is either a 'New Moon' or a 'Full Moon' reason; When the Earth, Sun, and Moon are nearly aligned, and the tidal forces add up from those three. (Always the highest Tide is when a New Moon and Full Moon)
The 'weakest' high tides occur when the moon is on it's First and Third quarter moon. What happens is, The Moon, Sun, and Earth line up at a Right angle ( 90 degrees ) and the weakest tide occurs

What else can I help you with?
What is the term for the lowest and highest tides on earth?
Spring tides
The highest and lowest tides are known as the spring tides. When do these tides occur?
this is called EbbTide
What type of tides has the highest high tides and the lowest low tides called?
The greatest high tides are Spring tides where the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a line. They are also the lowest low tides. The least high tides and low tides are called neap tides when the sun, moon and earth form a right angle
What phase of the moon produce the highest and lowest tides on earth?
When the Moon is at Full and at Dark (New), tides are strongest. These are called "spring" tides. When the Moon is at First and Last Quarter, the tides are weakest. These are called "neap" tides.The reason is that the Solar tides are either added to, or subtracted from, the Lunar tides.
What causes the highest of high tides and the lowest of low tides to occur?
The highest high tides, known as spring tides, occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, causing gravitational forces to combine. The lowest low tides, known as neap tides, occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, leading to gravitational forces partially cancelling each other out.
What is the term for the lowest and highest tides on earth?
Spring tides
What phase of the moon the highest and lowest tides on earth?
New and full moons produce the highest and lowest tides. These are called spring tides
Do spring tides have the lowest low tides compared to other types of tides?
No, spring tides have the highest high tides and lowest low tides compared to other types of tides.
The highest and lowest tides are known as the spring tides. When do these tides occur?
this is called EbbTide
What happens when high tides are at there highest and low tides at there lowest?
death Neap tide.
What type of tides has the highest high tides and the lowest low tides called?
The greatest high tides are Spring tides where the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a line. They are also the lowest low tides. The least high tides and low tides are called neap tides when the sun, moon and earth form a right angle
The difference between highest and lowest tides is?
i am not very sure but i think it is the korola
What occurs when high tides are the highest and low tides are the lowest?
Tidal maximums and Tidal minimums. These two Incidents are not co-incidental.
What is The difference between the highest and lowest tides?
It varies from place to place. It is called the Tidal Range.
What phase of the moon produce the highest and lowest tides on earth?
When the Moon is at Full and at Dark (New), tides are strongest. These are called "spring" tides. When the Moon is at First and Last Quarter, the tides are weakest. These are called "neap" tides.The reason is that the Solar tides are either added to, or subtracted from, the Lunar tides.
Which phases of the moon cause the highest low tides and lowest high tides?
At the quarter moon phase, the gravity of the sun and the moon are working at right angles to each other, partially canceling out their tidal effects. This is when you'll get the highest low tides or lowest high tides, or "neap tides".
How many days pass between the lowest and highest tidal range?
The tidal range varies due to the positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, typically cycling through a pattern of spring and neap tides. Spring tides, which have the highest tidal range, occur approximately every two weeks during the full and new moons. Neap tides, which have the lowest tidal range, occur about a week after the spring tides. Therefore, roughly 7 to 14 days pass between the lowest and highest tidal ranges.
