Answer:

Neap tides, which also occur twice a month, happen when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. ... In both cases, the gravitational pull of the sun is "added" to the gravitational pull of the moon on Earth, causing the oceans to bulge a bit more than usual.

                           Neap Tides.

What are Neap Tides?

  • A neap tide will occur after seven days/ one week of a spring tide. This will refer  to a time to moderate tides.

  • Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun, and the rotation of the Earth.

  • Tidal constituents are the net result of multiple influences impacting tidal changes over certain periods of time.

Why do neap tides occur twice in lunar month​?

  • Tides are long-period waves that roll around the planet as the ocean is "pulled" back and forth by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun as these bodies interact with the Earth in their monthly and yearly orbits.

  • These are called spring tides, a common historical term that has nothing to do with the season of spring.

  • This occurs twice each month. The moon appears new (dark) when it is directly between the Earth and the sun.
