what is neap tide and a spring tide
Answers
Answer:
A neap tide seven day after a spring tide. Refers to a period of moderate tide when the sun and moon are at right angle to each other. A spring tide is a common historical term that has nothing to do with the season of spring. The moon appears new (dark) when it is a directly between the earth and the sun.
Answer:
The water of the earth closer to the moon gets pulled under the influence of the moon’s gravitational force and causes high tide. During the full moon and new moon days, the sun, the moon and the earth are in the same line and the tides are highest. These tides are called spring tides. But when the moon is in its first and last quarter, the ocean waters get drawn in diagonally opposite directions by the gravitational pull of sun and earth resulting in low tides. These tides are called neap tides.
