Answers to Common Questions
The moon is the main factor on the tides, as it closes and moves away from the earth.
Spring tide normally happens monthly when the new moon or full moon occurs. This is the time also when the high and low tides occur at the new or full moon and there are allot of changes in moods in people as well.
A spring tide is an unusually high tide, not named for the season. They occur when the moon is very close to the earth and during the new moon phase.
