During which moon phase do spring tides occur?

new moon and full moon

first quarter and third quarter

waxing gibbous and waning gibbous

waxing crescent and waning crescent

The answer is A

New moon and full moon

new moon and full moon

Explanation:

Tides occur due to gravitational force of the sun and the moon. During New moon and Full moon, the Sun and the Moon are aligned in a straight line. This alignment leads to strong effect of gravity on tides and highest high tides and lowest low tides occur. These tides are referred as spring tides.

Neap tides occur when the sun and the moon are aligned at right angles. Effect of gravity is minimum and low tidal range is observed.
