It is nice and strange phenomenon, as the sea foam may form a huge amount of scum which extends to tens of kilometers

 

This is a photo of the sea foam which is a complicated phenomenon and it happens in all seas due to the strong mixing of Impurities, organic materials, salts, dead plants and rotting fish in the sea…. Which form light foam but it extends to about fifty kilometer.

 

The scientists explain this phenomenon like putting milk in the mixer to form foam. But it disappears in the air, and whenever the movement of the waves became heavier the amount of the foam became larger.  

Here are some scientific facts about the foam:

Foam forms only during the fast movement of water which caused by a hurricane or strong floods. It forms on the top surface of the water.

Weight of the foam is very light so it evaporates like vapor.

A small amount of water forms a large amount of foam, which means the foam has no weight or value
