A spring tide—popularly known as a "King Tide"—refers to the 'springing forth' of the tide during new and full moon. A neap tide —seven days after a spring tide—refers to a period of moderate tides when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other.

28 Σεπ 2024 · Neap tide, tide of minimal range occurring near the time when the Moon and the Sun are in quadrature. This condition is geometrically defined as the time at which the line from the Earth to the Moon is at right angles to the line from the Earth to the Sun.
30 Απρ 2018 · A high tide occurs at the two bulging points and a low tide at the two points halfway between because the water is being redirected. Each location on the earth passes through these points twice a day, usually experiencing two high and low tides daily.
19 Οκτ 2023 · Hard-bottom zones often have barnacles and seaweeds, while soft-bottom zones have more sea plants and slow-moving creatures like rays. Intertidal zones are marked by vertical zonation. Different organisms live in different zones in the tidal range, depending on how much water reaches them.
What is a neap tide? When the sun and moons are at right angles to each other, there is least gravitational pull, meaning the tidal range is at its lowest. The neap tide occurs 7 days after the spring tide.
Spring high tides are higher and spring low tides are lower than average. Neap tides occur when the moon is at its first or third quarter. Now the lunar tide and solar tide cancel each other out, leading to a smaller tidal range than average. The spring-neap cycle causes tides to build to a maximum and fall to a minimum twice each month.
One week later, when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other, the solar tide partially cancels out the lunar tide and produces moderate tides known as neap tides. During each lunar month, two sets of spring and two sets of neap tides occur.
