Question

Select all of the answers that apply. A neap tide will occur during _____.

a smaller tidal range
a larger tidal range
the cycle when the sun and moon are at right angles
the cycle when the sun and moon are aligned with one another
a full moon
a new moon

Answer 1

it would be the last one

Answer 2

a smaller tidal range

the cycle when the sun and moon are at right angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Tides occur due to gravitational pull of the sun and the moon. The sea level rises and falls due to it.

Spring tides occur during new moon and full moon phase i.e. when the sun, moon and earth align in straight line. There is maximum difference between high tides and low tides.

Neap tides occur when there is least difference between high tides and low tides. The effect of gravity of sun and moon is least because the sun and moon are at right angles
