Detailed explanation-1: -The main factor that causes tides is the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun. A neap tide is a tide of minimal range occurring near the time when the Moon and the Sun are in quadrature.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tides are formed due to the gravitational force exerted by the Sun and the Moon on the Earth. The Sun’s gravitational pull is much larger than the Moon’s, and the difference is important to the creation of tides. Tides are of two types: High and Low tides, which are based on the extent and position of the Sun and Moon.
Detailed explanation-3: -They are caused by the gravitational forces exerted on the earth by the moon, and to a lesser extent, the sun. When the highest point in the wave, or the crest, reaches a coast, the coast experiences a high tide. When the lowest point, or the trough, reaches a coast, the coast experiences a low tide.
