What is another word for springtides?
Pronunciation: [spɹˈɪŋta͡ɪdz] (IPA) 
Springtides are a recurrent phenomenon that happens twice a month during full and new moon phases. It is the time when the sun, moon, and earth align, creating a gravitational pull that leads to high tides in the ocean. There are few synonyms for springtides, including King Tides, Perigean Spring Tides, and Equinoctial Spring Tides. While King Tides are the highest spring tides, Perigean Spring Tides occur when the moon is closest to the earth, leading to higher than usual tides. Equinoctial Spring Tides occur during the first week of spring and fall during the equinoxes and are characterized by average tidal ranges and low tides.
