GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -When the sun, moon and Earth are all lined up, the sun’s tidal force works with the moon’s tidal force. The combined pull can cause the highest and lowest tides, called spring tides. Spring tides happen whenever there is a new moon or a full moon and have nothing to do with the season of spring.

Detailed explanation-2: -This means that high tides are higher and low tides are lower than average. These are called ‘spring tides.

Detailed explanation-3: -A spring tide-popularly known as a “King Tide"-refers to the ‘springing forth’ of the tide during new and full moon.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Neap tides A neap tide happens between two spring tides and occurs twice a month when the first and last quarter Moon appears.
