13. Tides Caused by the gravitational attraction of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. moon has a much greater effect than Sun on tides because it is much closer to the Earth.

14. Tides Spring Tides- The exceptionally high and low tides that occur during new moon or full moon when the sun, moon, and earth are aligned. (nothing to do with the season)

15. Tides Neap Tide- The tide that occurs when the difference between high and low tide is least; Neap tides come twice a month, in the first and third quarters of the moon.
