Why are neap tides smaller than all the other tides

1 Answer

Answer:

Seven days after a spring tide, the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. This produces moderate tides known as neap tides, meaning that high tides are a little lower and low tides are a little higher than average. Neap tides occur during the first and third quarter moon, when the moon appears "half full."

HOPE THIS HELPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!XDDD
