Neap Tides
| View Cart ⇗ | Info
“The elevation of the tides at c and d is produced by the causes already explained; but their elevation is not so great as normal, since the influence of the Sun acting in the direction a b, tends to counteract the Moon’s attractive influence. These small tides are called neap tides, and happen only when the Moon is in her quadartures.” —Comstock, 1850
