A Neap tide occurs when the sun's influence partially cancels out the effect of the moon's control of the tides. The effect is strongest when the sun is at a ninety degree angle to the moon, imagine a clock face with the Earth in the middle, the moon at 12 and the sun at the 9 position, this results in a Neap tide which means that there is less variation between high and low tides.
Neap tides occur at Apogee. The orbit of the moon round the earth is elliptical. When it is close (Perigee), you get spring tides and when it is furthest, you get neap tides. The orbit of the moon takes approximately 28 days.
No, it's not either of those things. A neap tide is when the difference between low tide and high tide is at a minimum. They occur roughly twice a month, when the moon is at first or third quarter. When the moon is new or full, you get the opposite of a neap tide, a "spring tide", when the difference between low tide and high tide as at a maximum.
Neap tide
Neap tides occur when the gravitational pull comes from two different directions. Like when the moon and sun are at right angles to the earth. This may happen twice a month.
The tides are called neap tides. These occur during the First and Third quarter (in terms of moon phases) and are lower than the tides during New Moon and Full Moon phases.
No, ebb tide is outgoing - neap tide is rising.

they are both tides
Neap tide
The name of the third quarter tide is called a neap tide. They are Spring tides that occur when the Sun and Moon line up.

Spring and neap tides come twice a month.
neap tide.
2 spring tides and 2 neap tides
Yes. It is Neap Tide.
