Question
Explain Spring and Neap Tides.
✓
Answer
During the full moon and new moon days, the sun, the moon and the earth are in the same line.
On this day 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 direction by the gravitational pull of the sun and the earth.
It results in low tides.
These tides are called Neap Tides.
