Milk contains fat. When it reaches boiling temperature, the water at the top evaporates rapidly leaving behing a thin layer of fat. This fat seals the surface preventing water from evaporating. This water (steam) is collected under the film and forms a big bubble which enlarges as the milk continues to heat and pushes the surface to the top till it spills.

Because they can. And because humans have been able to domesticate cattle to the point where they have successfully selected cows to produce far more milk than their own calves can take in one serving.
Why would someone use Coffemate rather than milk?

The whole milk moves because of diffusion.
The molecules of milk diffuse thorugh the water as in simple diffusion, molecules diffueses from where it is more concentrated to where it is less concentrated to where it is less concentrated (diffusing down its concentration gradient). This leads to dynamic equilibrium; the solute molecules of mile continue to cross the membrane but at equal rates in both directions. Diffusion is a spontaneous process, needing no input of energy. No work must be done to move substances down the concentration gradient.
What is the purpose of hydration of milk after mixing?
Hydration is the process of fully dissolving any raw materials that are added to the milk. Hydration of stabilisers, sugar, colourants and flavourants in milk is typically done for at least one hour with agitation.
What is casein and how does it make milk white?
Casein is a protein that contains calcium. Casein, like all proteins, is clear when dissolved in water. Calcium is also clear. All of the other substances in milk are also clear when dissolved in water. That includes the fats, sugars, salts, and proteins.
So, why is milk white. It's white for the same reason snow and clouds are white -- although they are made of clear water. Milk in white for the same reason that sugar and salt appear to be white when they are, in fact, clear. Their molecular structure scatters the entire visible light spectrum evenly -- given the appearance of white.
By the way, white only exists in our minds, not in objective reality. Our eyes do not have cells that can detect white because white does not have a physical existence. Our eyes can only detect three wavelengths (colors). When all three wavelengths are detected at the same time and at the same level, our brains think it is white.
Does Lactose-free milk have magnesium?
Lactose-free varieties of milk provide the same nutrients as regular milk.
The nutrients in an 8-oz. glass of nonfat, lactose-free milk include 8.3 g of protein; 12.5 g of sugars; 0.2 g of fat; 5 mg of cholesterol; 300 mg of calcium; 250 mg of phosphorus; 380 mg of potassium; 27 mg of magnesium; 150 micrograms of vitamin A; and 2.9 micrograms of vitamin D. The vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium in lactose-free milk help support your bone health.
Why does milk smell sour after leaving it in an open air?
The milk gets infected with bacteria present in the environment, some of which produce acids and other compounds as a byproduct of their digestive process when they consume compounds present in the milk. That's what gives it the sour taste and sometimes rank smell.
If you inoculate it with the right strain of bacteria, lactobacillus acidophilus being one, you get yogurt. L. acidophilus consumes lactose, a sugar in the milk, and produces lactic acid that gives yogurt its tangy flavour.
What is lecithination system in milk powder?
Lecithin is a food product derived from soybean that is added in a very small amount to agglomerated milk powder for the purpose of enhancing solubility.
