"The tide of the king".
The attraction of the moon and the sun creates a tide on the globe. The tide will be stronger and reach an extraordinary height if the moon, sun and earth are aligned or when the moon and the sun are closer to the earth than normal. People call them "king tide".
Dan Satterfield, a meteorologist in the United States, claims that the "king tide" is appearing in the oceans due to the sun and moon being closest to the earth in 2013, Livescience reported.
The planet reached the closest point to the sun on orbit on January 2. The moon is approaching its point (the closest point to Earth on its trajectory) this week, Satterfield said.
Every year 'king tide' appears twice. They can cause flooding if combined with storms. This phenomenon happened in California state of America in 2011.
