Question

1. what is a neap tide?

Explanation:

A neap tide occurs when the gravitational forces of the sun and moon are perpendicular to each other, resulting in a smaller tidal range. During neap tides, high tides are lower - than - normal and low tides are higher - than - normal.

Answer:

A neap tide is a tide with a smaller tidal range that occurs when the sun and moon's gravitational forces are perpendicular to each other, leading to lower high - tides and higher low - tides compared to normal.
