When the moon is full or new, the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are combined. At these times, the high tides are very high and the low tides are very low. This is known as a spring high tide. Spring tides are especially strong tides (they do not have anything to do with the season Spring).They occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are in a line.he result is a smaller difference between high and low tides and is known as a neap tide. Neap tides are especially weak tides. They occur when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another (with respect to the Earth). Neap tides occur during quarter moons.
why does a neap tide occur during this time? that is when the pull of gravity from the moon is at a 90 degree angle with the pull of gravity from the sun What is different between high tide and low during a spring tide vs. a neap tide? great difference between high tide and low tide during a spring tide than a neap tide Why does this difference occur? The combined forces of a the Moon's gravity and the Sun's gravity in a line produces tides with the greatest difference between consecutive low and high tides during a spring tide. During a neap tide the opposing forces of the Sun's gravity and the Moon's gravity at a 90 degree angle produces tides with the least difference between consecutive low and high tides.
