Answer:

During what moon phase does a spring tide occur?

A spring tide occurs during the full moon phase of the moon. This is also known as the new moon phase and the moon is located between the earth and the sun.

Neap tides occur during first and third quarter moons.

When do neap tides occur?

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.
