I’ll give the Brainliest, you also need to explain how the answer you got is correct. Choose the best description of a neap tide.

A. Neap tides produce during the highest tides of the month.

B. Neap tides happen during winter and summer.

C. Neap tides could be described as low high tides and high low tides.

D. A neap tide is the period halfway between tides when the tide changes direction.

Thank you!

D. A neap tide is the period halfway between tides when the tide changes direction. (correction) Answer : C

Explanation:

Process of elimination can be used. First off, A is incorrect because neap tides have the smallest tidal range ; spring tides would fit this choice. B is incorrect since neap tides are specific to the first, and third quarter moons when the sun and moon are right angles. C is wrong because it is the other way around since high tides are a little higher than average and low tides are a little lower than average (correction) this is correct since higher low tides and lower high tides are closer together and have a smaller tidal range than standard tides(spring tides) with higher high tides, and lower low tides. D is correct because they occur halfway between the spring tides (correction): incorrect since a neap tides occur around a week(7 days) after a spring tide(moderate tides). There is no evidence this is true.

There are three patterns: diurnal(one high and low tides a day), semidiurnal(two high and low tides a day), and mixed(two high and low tides a day of different lengths).

The spring and neap tides are the types of tides involved with the low and high tides.
