The pull of gravity of the moon causes Earth’s crust and oceans to bulge. This creates high and low tides. Spring tides occur when the Sun, the moon, and Earth are nearly aligned. Neap tides happen when the Sun and the moon are at right angles to each other. Each of these special tides happens twice in a lunar cycle.
