B. Extra low, high tide and an extra high, low tide

1 answer

B. Extra low, high tide and an extra high, low tide.

A neap tide occurs twice a month when the gravitational forces of the sun and the moon are perpendicular to each other, leading to a minimal difference between high and low tides. This results in lower high tides and higher low tides than average.
