At approximately what time would low tide be observed during a waning half moon?
a full moon? Referring to question 9, low tide would occur approximately 6 hours after high tide. Therefore, low tide would occur at approximately noon and midnight during a half moon. During a full moon it would occur at approximately 6:00 am and 6:00 PM. 11. How many times a month would we expect to experience a spring tide? Spring tides are produced when the the gravitational influence of the moon and the Sun are combined producing a higher that normal high tide and a lower than normal low tide. This occurs when the Sun, Earth and moon are aligned. This alignment occurs during a new and a full moon. Therefore we would expect to observe a spring tide twice a month. 12. A spring tide is observed on November 15th. On approximately what date would a neap tide be observed? Another spring tide? Since a neap tide is associated with a half moon; and a half moon occurs approximately one week after a full and new moon (during which time a spring tide is observed), a neap tide would be observe
