Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B spring tide
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. The
gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun both contribute to the tides.
Spring tides occur during the full moon and the new moon.
