Spring tides occur when
Answer: A
Correct answer: the sun and moon are aligned, at new moon and at full moon
When the sun and moon lie on the same line as seen from Earth, their tide-raising forces reinforce and the range is at its greatest. That happens twice a lunar month, at new moon and at full moon, so spring tides come roughly every fortnight. The name has nothing to do with the season - it refers to the water springing up.
