What are neap tides and when do they occur?
Neap tides are tides with the highest difference between high and low water levels, occurring during full moon phases.
Neap tides are tides with alternating high and low water levels, occurring during new moon phases.
Neap tides are tides with the least difference between high and low water levels, occurring during the first and third quarter moon phases.
Neap tides are tides with no difference between high and low water levels, occurring randomly throughout the month.
