10.6) Mixed tides are referred to as tides that have both semi-diurnal and diurnal components. The contribution of each component changes over time. Why is this change in phase with the spring/neap tide cycle? (20%/30%)

Step 1
The spring/neap tide cycle is a regular pattern of tidal variations that occur over a period of about two weeks. During this cycle, the tidal range (the difference between high and low tide) varies. During the spring tide, the tidal range is at its maximum. This Show more…

What are neap tides? Explain the formation of neap tides.
what causes spring and neap tides, and identify the phases of the moon when these tides occur. Be sure to mention what happens to Earth’s crust, ocean water, and the positions of the Sun, Earth, and the moon?

Why are all tides greatest at the time of a full Moon or new Moon? At full Moon and new Moon, the tides from the Moon and the Sun add because they make a right angle with Earth. At full Moon and new Moon, the tides from the Moon and the Sun partially cancel because they make a right angle with Earth. At full Moon and new Moon, the tides from the Moon and the Sun add because they are in line with Earth. At full Moon and new Moon, the tides from the Moon and the Sun partially cancel because they are in line with Earth.
