Answer 1

Hi Sydney!

Question - What type of tide cycle has the greatest differences between the level of tides in one day?

Answer - B. spring tide

Why - When you are reading about tides you notice that the other 3 tides have lower differences like a neap tide has the least difference.

Hope This Helps :)

Answer 2

spring

Explanation:

Tides are caused mostly by the moon and sun. When the Sun moon and earth are in a line with the moon between the Earth and Sun, the result is a spring tide. That tide is influenced by 2 other bodies in the solar system. The neap tide is as well but it is defined differently. It occurs when the Sun and earth form an imaginary line between them which is at right angles to an imaginary line between the moon and earth.

The pull causing a neap tide is not as strong as the spring tide.
