What are the reasons for the variation of spring tides and neap tides
Answers
Explanation:
The neap tides occur when the moon is in its first and last quarter phase. Because of the position of the moon and sun, their gravitational pulls on the waters of earth partially cancel each other out, resulting in smaller differences between the high and low
During this time, the alignment of the Earth, moon and sun creates spring tides that result in greater tidal variation. The most significant spring tides occur three or four times per year, when the Earth is closer to the sun and the moon is at its perigee, resulting in perigean spring tides..

Answer:
Spring tides occur when the sun and moon are aligned (full moon and new moon) causing higher high tides. This occurs twice in a month.
Neap tides occur when the sun and moon are acting on the earth in opposing direction.
