VOI Today: Beware Of Supermoon Phenomenon Causes Rob Floods In Jakarta And Around

JAKARTA - The Supermoon or Full-Corruption Perigee occurs when the Full Moon coincides with Perigee's position or the closest distance from the Moon to Earth.

Scientifically, the tide is caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun against Earth.

When the Supermoon occurs, the gravitational pull of the Moon becomes stronger than usual, so that the sea level experiences maximum tide.

This phenomenon allows higher tides and lower tides.

Tidal floods have the potential to hit at least 21 coastal areas of Indonesia, covering the entire island of Java, Sumatra, to the eastern region. Check out more information on VOI.id
