Normally, there is a ______ day interval between spring tides and neap tides.
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. seven

  • Normally, there is a seven day interval between spring tides and neap tides

  • Neap Tides refers to a period of moderate tides. It takes place when the moon and sun are at right-angles to each other.

  • The effect of this alignment is that there is less difference between high and low water which means that on a neap tide, the water does not rise or fall to its usual heights. A high tide will be less high and a low tide will be less low, decreasing the difference between them.
