Question

Explain what causes spring and neap tides, and identify

Answer 1

Answer:

Spring tides occur when the moon is full or new. The moon's gravity and the Sun's gravity pull Earth's crust and ocean water. This causes tides to be higher than normal. At neap tide, the moon and the Sun are at right angles to each other

Answer 2

Answer:

Spring tides occur when the sun, moon and earth are lined up, and it causes high and low tides to be much higher (moon is full/new). Neap tides occur when the sun, moon, and earth form a right angle this causes regular high and low tides to be much lower (first quarter and last quarter moon). The moons gravity and suns gravity pull the earths crust and ocean water.
