the Earth during the spring tide. The moon's orbit around the Earth is elliptical which causes the moon to be closer to the Earth and farther away at different times. The moon and the sun are aligned every two weeks which result in spring tides; tides that are 20% higher than normal. During the period of the new Moon, the Moon and Sun are on the same side of the Earth so that the high tides or bulges produced independently by each reinforce each other. Tides of maximum height and depression produced during this period are known as spring tide. Even higher than a normal spring tide are the perigean tides. Perigean Spring tides can produce unusually intense flooding along the coastal regions. Used as the front cover of the 2010 calendar.
