1. When the sun, moon, and earth are aligned we call this a __Spring____ tide. These tides are typically _Stronger____ than other tides.
2. When the sun, moon, and earth form a right angle it causes _Neap____ tides, typically ____Weaker_ than other tides throughout the month
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
Neap tides are especially weak tides. They occur when the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun are perpendicular to one another (with respect to the Earth). Neap tides occur during quarter moons.
