What are the weak tides called that occur when the moon is in a quarter phase?

The weak tides that occur when the moon is in a quarter phase are called neap tides. During neap tides, the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun are perpendicular to each other, resulting in lower high tides and higher low tides. This leads to a smaller tidal range compared to spring tides, which occur during the new and full moon phases. Neap tides typically happen twice a month.
