Q. When are neap tides produced ?
✅ Correct Answer: (A)
When the sun and moon are at right angle to the earth.
Explanation: A neap tide is a tide in which the difference between high and low tide is the least. Neap tides occur twice a month when the Sun and Moon are at right angles to the Earth. In this position, their total gravitational pull on the Earth’s water is weakened because it comes from two different directions.
