The highest tides of all (17m) occur in Canada and after a long running dispute between the famous tides of the Bay of Fundy and those of Ungava Bay on the northern coast of Quebec, the Canadian Hydrographic Service has declared a draw.

So the period from one high tide to the next is about 12 hours 25 minutes. When the sun, moon and earth all line up at new (as in the picture) or full moon then we get the highest (and indeed lowest) tides which are called 'spring' tides (nothing to do with the time of year!).

The following is a explanation of spring and neap tides in relation to lunar and solar cycles. Since antiquity, people have noticed that oceans exhibit a much greater tidal range around the time of the full Moon and new Moon.

Most people think of the Mediterranean area as being without tides and it is true that the tides there are very small, and can often go unnoticed as atmospheric conditions and headwinds can attenuate the effect of these tides making them difficult to see.

These are times of high high tides and low low tides. A week later, during either of the two quarter Moon phases, when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to each other and their tidal influences partially cancel each other out, neap tides occur, and the tidal range is minimal.

This is when the Moon and Sun are either together in the sky or are on opposite sides of the heavens. Higher tides occur during these Moon phases because the Sun also exerts a gravitational pull on our oceans, although it is only 46 percent as strong as the Moon's. When the gravitational effects of the Sun and the Moon combine, we get spring tides, which have nothing to do with the season of spring. The term refers to the action of the seas springing out and then springing back.

Transcript of Moon Phases/Tides. Moon Phases/Tides/Seasons. The appearance or shape of the Moon gradually changes through the course of a month. This is called the Lunar Cycle. The Moon is not self-luminous! It reflects the light of the Sun. The Moon circles the Earth approximately. once every 28 days or 1 month.

The word 'neap' is thought to have originated from the Middle English Word 'neep' meaning small. Although the sun, the moon and the rotation of the earth are the major forces involved in creating the tides the local conditions such as the shoreline and the contour of the ocean floor also have an effect.

They occur when the Earth, the. Sun, and the Moon are in a line. The gravitational forces of the Moon and the. Sun both contribute to the tides. Spring tides. occur during the full moon and the new moon. Neap tides. are especially. weak. tides.

The Moon and Sun are much farther away from Earth than shown here. The Sun is also much larger. In this astronomy science project, you will compare the tidal range at the full moon and first quarter moon to see just how much the phases of the Moon affect the tides in Earth's oceans.
