Expert Answer
When the Sun, Moon and the Earth are aligned, the tides are highest and are called spring tide.
When the Moon is in its first and last quarter, the ocean water gets pulled in the opposite direction of the Moon by the Sun’s and Earth’s gravitational force causing low tides. These tides are also known as neap tides.
