Question

Which of the following statements is true?

Answer 1

Answer:

The true statement is: "Spring tides are the highest, while neap tides are the lowest."

Explanation:

• The range of difference in the level of water between high and low tide is always larger in spring tide.

• Neap tides are the moderate tides. It does not have huge difference in higher and low tides because the bulging of the ocean ( by the sun)  balances the bulge of the ocean caused by the moon.
• This balance is not found in spring tides that is the main reason for spring tides to have the highest level for both higher and lower tides.
