1.	What is the difference between spring tide and neap tide
Answer» On full moon and new moon days when the sun, the moon and the earth are in the same line, exceptionally strong gravitational forces exerted by the sun and the moon cause high tides, called as spring tides whereas a neap tide occurs when the moon is in its first or third quarter and is at right angles to the sun.
