Question
he diagram below represents the earth and sun relationship. what positions of the moon (m) would result in a tide with little difference between the high and low tides (weaker tide)? sun
Weaker tides (neap tides) occur when the gravitational pulls of the Sun and Moon are perpendicular to each other, which happens when the Moon is at its first or third quarter phase. In this diagram, positions T and R place the Moon at right angles relative to the Sun-Earth line, creating a smaller difference between high and low tides.
