Neap tides and Spring tides

Tide schematic.svg

Neap and spring tides describe the difference between the low tide and the high tide. When the high tide is very high and the low tide is very low on the same day, we have a spring tide. When the high tide is less high and the low tide is less low, it's a neap tide. We get two neap tides and two spring tides each month, because they are influenced by the phase of the moon (which is controlled by the relative position of the earth, sun, and moon).
