Under which circumstances do neap tides occur? HELP NEED ASAP!!
Woops wrong one. It’s “when the sun’s pull is at a right angle to the moon’s pull”. Sorry for my mistake.
I failed. at this question
Neap tides occur under the following circumstances:
1. Lunar Phase: Neap tides occur during the first and third quarter phases of the moon. At these times, the gravitational forces of the Moon and the Sun partially cancel each other out, resulting in weaker tidal bulges.
2. Alignment: Neap tides occur when the Moon, Earth, and Sun form a right angle. In this configuration, the gravitational forces pulling water towards the Moon and the Sun counteract each other, leading to smaller tidal variations.
To determine the timing of neap tides in your specific location, you can use online tide prediction websites or apps. These platforms provide tide charts that show the daily tidal conditions, including neap tides. Simply input your location and select the desired date to obtain information on when neap tides will occur.
