Tides
Tides are caused by the differences in how much the moon's gravity pulls on different parts of the Earth. There is a certain pattern tides follow, called the tide cycle. At one time, two places in Earth have low tides, while two places have high tide. As the Earth rotates, one high tide stays on the side of Earth facing the moon. The second high tide is on the opposite side of the Earth. This rotation occurs every 25 hours or so.
Spring Tide is when the gravity of the sun and the moon pull in the same direction. This force causes a tide with the greatest difference between consecutive low and high tides. Neap Tides occur when the sun's pull is at right angles to the moon's pull. Neap tide is produced, and it is a tide with the least difference between consecutive low and high tides.
