Spring Tides are Higher than Neap Tides?Give reasons?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The highest tides, called spring tides, are formed when the earth, sun and moon are lined up in a row. This happens every two weeks during a new moon or full moon.

Smaller tides, called neap tides, are formed when the earth, sun and moon form a right angle. This causes the sun and moon to pull the water in two different directions. Neap tides happen during a quarter or three-quarter moon.

• Seven days after a spring tide, the sun and moon are at right angles to each other.
• This produces moderate tides known as neap tides, meaning that high tides are a little lower and low tides are a little higher than average.
• Neap tides occur during the first and third quarter moon, when the moon appears "half full."
• When the gravitational pull of the sun and moon combine, we see larger than average tides – known as spring tides.
• Yet some spring tides are higher than others.
• This is because tidal forces are strengthened if the moon is closest to Earth in its elliptical orbit.
