Similar spring tides and neap tides?
"Spring" tides are higher-than-normal tides that occur when the Moon is full or new; when the tidal forces of the Sun and Moon are additive. Lower-than-normal "neap" tides happen when the Moon is at the 1st or 3rd quarter, when the Moon and the Sun are working at cross-purposes on the tides.
What are the two types of two tides?
The two types of tides are spring tides and neap tides. Spring tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment, creating higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides happen when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, resulting in less extreme high and low tides.
What is the same about neap tides and spring tides?
Both neap tides and spring tides occur due to the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun on Earth's oceans. Neap tides happen when the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun are at right angles, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. Spring tides occur when the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun are aligned, creating higher high tides and lower low tides.
