Question

which phrase describes neap tides?
occur four times a day
produce extra - low tidal ranges
caused only by the pull of the moon
occur at the same time as spring tides

Explanation:

Neap tides occur when the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are perpendicular to each other (during the first and third quarter moon phases). This results in a smaller difference between high and low tides, i.e., extra - low tidal ranges.

• Tides (both spring and neap) occur twice a day (not four times a day).
• Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of both the moon and the sun.
• Neap tides and spring tides occur at different times (spring tides occur during new and full moon when the sun and moon's gravitational forces are aligned).

Answer:

produce extra - low tidal ranges
