The tide produced as a consequence of the moon and the sun pulling the earth in the same direction is called

  • A.Ebb tide
  • B.High tide
  • C.Spring tide
  • D.Neap tide

Answer: C

When the Sun, Moon and Earth lie in a straight line - at new moon and full moon - the solar and lunar pulls act together and produce the tide of greatest range, the spring tide.

The name has nothing to do with the season; it comes from the sense of water 'springing up'. Spring tides occur twice a month.
