Question

During a full moon _____ tides occurs.
A. Neap
B. Spring
C. High
D. Low

Answer 1

Hint:
This type of tide occurs when the sun and the moon are aligned with the earth. There are two points namely conjunction and opposition. The conjunction occurs during the new moon. At this time the sun and the moon lie on the same side of the earth and the other one is in opposition. It occurs when the sun and moon occur on the opposite side of the earth.

Complete answer:
The spring tides occur on the full moon and new moon. During this, the gravitational force of the sun and the moon are combined and the occurrence of high tides and low tides takes place. The high tides are called spring high tides and the low tides are called spring low tides. During the full moon, the moon appears fully bright and it is the lunar phase of the moon. The lunar phase is also called the moon phase. It generally occurs once a month. Some of the traditional names of full moon include Harvest moon and Hunter’s moon. The harvest moon is also called a barley moon and full corn moon.

Additional Information – The new moon is called the first lunar phase. It occurs when the sun and the moon have the same ecliptic longitude. The ecliptic longitude can be defined as the ecliptic longitude system. This type of system is used to determine the position of the objects of the solar system.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note:
The smaller tides are called neap tides. This type of tide is formed when the moon, sun, and earth are aligned in a way that forms a right angle and this tide occurs twice a month.
