Spring tides and neap tides

Answer 1

Spring Tides	Neap Tides
1. Since the Sun and the Moon are in the same line, their combined gravitational pull causes very high tides, which are known as spring tides.	1. Neap tides are low tides created when the Sun and the Moon are at right angle to each other, thereby nullifying their respective gravitational pulls.
2. These tides occur during the full moon or new moon days.	2. These tides occur during the first and third quarter of the moon.
