🔍 Key Concepts

• Apogean tides vs. perigean tides (how the Moon’s distance from Earth affects tidal range) • Difference between spring tides (new/full moon) and neap tides (quadrature – first and last quarter) • Meaning of tidal range (difference between high and low water)

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the strength of the Moon’s gravitational pull when it is farther from the Earth versus when it is closer. • Which type of tide (stronger or weaker range) would you logically expect when the Moon is farthest away? • Which lunar phase is associated with quadrature, and are apogean tides tied to lunar phase or to lunar distance?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition of apogee (Moon farthest from Earth) and perigee (Moon closest to Earth). • Verify whether apogean tides are about tidal type (diurnal/mixed/semidiurnal) or about tidal range (how big the highs and lows are). • Confirm whether apogean tides are linked to a specific lunar phase (like quadrature) or simply to the Moon’s orbital position (distance).
