King tides occur when the orbits and alignment of the Earth, moon, and sun combine to produce the greatest tidal effects of the year. See a story map from NOAA's Office for Coastal Management and The King Tides Project to learn about sea level rise and tidal flooding. King tides flood Manasquan, New Jersey, 2013.
That's a good question! Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon, sun, and other bodies in our solar system on the ocean. You can find out more about tides from this answer from our archives (and the links within). The biggest influence on the tides is the moon. The moon is the reason we get two tides per day, and those tides are about 12.5 hours apart.
