From the look of the surf it would appear someone has been taking a giant bubble bath in the Pacific Ocean.

But these suds are in fact vast quantities of sea foam which has been collecting on beaches along the California coast in the U.S. in the wake of the tsunami created by the massive Chilean earthquake on Saturday.

The foam occurs naturally along coastlines but an unusual mix of weather and oceanic conditions, added to the large waves created by the earthquake, is thought to be behind a surge of the spume on beaches, including here at Hollywood Beach in Oxnard, southern California.

Surge: Vast quantities of sea foam, formed from decayed microscopic creatures, cover this beach in southern California

The spume is made from protein and fat molecules created by the breakdown of microscopic sea creatures.

These animals, known as phaeocystis, form large colonies in the water which are held together by a gelatinous mass.

The foam is formed when the wind sweeps up the decaying remains of these colonies and deposits it on the shore.

Pollution is also said to affect the sea foam where too many nutrients in the water cause large colonies of phaeocystis to form.

The unusual quantities of the sea foam are thought to have been caused by the tsunami created by the massive earthquake in Chile on Saturday

The Chilean earthquake caused a tsunami which devastated coastal towns and caused massive waves to cross the Pacific Ocean as far as Japan.

More than 800 people were killed after it struck in the early hours of Saturday morning, toppling buildings and bridges and cutting off power supplies.

It is thought that the tsunami created by the earthquake may have caused more of the sea foam to gather in the Pacific before strong winds blew it on to California beaches.
