During full and new moon phases, the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun aligns, producing higher-than-normal tides (spring tides), making Statement 1 correct. Strong winds and offshore storms can further elevate sea levels and intensify tidal effects, making Statement 2 correct. The release of water from dams is related to river flooding and has no direct role in tidal flooding, making Statement 3 incorrect. Source: The Hindu 2.
