What is the sea foam?

sea foam is probably created by a combination of factors. Defining organic matter such as fish, plant life and microscopic organisms, seaweed secretion and other proteins, and in some cases all pollutants are carried on small air bubbles that whip tidal movements. When the currents reach the coast and form wool, the air bubbles reach the surface that is held together. The waves collapse and the sea foam comes ashore. The phytoplankton flower is microscopic algae that can be reproduced so quickly when the conditions are correct, that biomass can be seen from space. It can color seawater into a brown or reddish color, leading to the name, red tide , although scientists prefer "flowering algae" because the color is changing and flowers are not related to tidal movement. The harmful eyelash flowers will produce natural toxins and exhaust in the area of ​​dissolved oxygen levels, causing a sudden leak of the local sea life. SuddenThe increase in organic waste can contribute to a larger amount of sea foam. Foam resulting from pollutants is often brown, although sea foam caused by red tide or other organic sources may also seem brownish. In general, sea foam, which is not formed by pollutants or eyelash flowers, is white.

In 2007, the sea foam was associated with the death and imprisonment of hundreds of migrating marine birds on the Monterey coast of California. Scientists were initially stumps when the birds were found coated with a yellowish greenish fabric and grew feathers. This caused the feathers to lose its insulating property and 207 birds died of the cold sea, while 550 others were stuck. In the end, scientists combined the recent non -toxic flower of algae, which resulted in a sea foam with the problematic remnants of birds.

Another completely different event also appeared in 2007. While most beachcombERS experiences sea foam as a relatively small pockets of foaming bubbles, in some cases it combines in some cases that they form a colossal amount of airy foam. In August this year, the Surfers were on the water in Yamba, Australia north of Sydney for a big surprise. There was a carried literal wall of sea foam to surround the beach. The Beachgoers dwarf dwarf, covering the coast, even push up to nearby buildings, including the LifeGuard center. The bizarre scene, called "Cappuccino Coast", was captured in the photos so incredible that they were approached to determine their authenticity.
