Spring tides occur on
Options:
A .  The day when the moon’s position is in its first quarter
B .  Full moon day only
C .  New moon day only
D .  Full moon day as well as on new moon day
Answer: Option D
Answer: (d)
Spring Tides refer to either of the two tides that occur at or just after the new moon and full moon when the tide-generating force of the sun acts in the same direction as that of the moon, reinforcing it and causing the greatest rise and fall in tidal level.
The highest spring tides (equinoctial springs) occur at the equinoxes.
