NEAP TIDES:
When the moon is in quadrature the tide raising
force due to the sun and that due to the moon act
in direction 90 to each other. The solar tide then
tends to produce a HW at points where LW occurs
due to the lunar tide and vice versa. Thus at such
times ,the lunisolar high watersare not very high
and the lunisolar low waters are not very low.
Therefore the Range of tide then is not very
large.These are called NEAP tides.
