Detailed explanation-1: -Neap tides, which also occur twice a month, happen when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other.
Detailed explanation-2: -A “spring tide” is the opposite of a “neap tide, ‘’ i.e., the point just after either a full or new moon when the high tide reaches its highest point above the level of low tide.
Detailed explanation-3: -Spring tides happen just after every full and new moon, when the sun, moon and earth are in line. That’s when lunar and solar tides line up and reinforce each other, making a bigger total tide. Neap tides occur when the moon is in the first or third quarter-when the sun, earth and moon form a right angle.
Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is Neap tides. Tides are the daily changes in the level of ocean water at any given place. The main factor that causes tides is the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun.
